I have been awarded a 4-week fiction writing residency at the Vermont Studio Center for the month of October.
I am feeling kind of rock starrish right now.
Do you know how awesome it feels to finally get some recognition for doing tons of hard work in a vacuum for almost two years??
I wept a little when I read the acceptance letter. It felt like getting into college again.
October in Vermont is going to be breathtaking. Seven years of leaves I have missed. I get to make up for it all at once.
Antonya Nelson is going to be the fiction advisor that month (heads up, Shando!).
I got in.
Yay.

Posted by: Marc at March 28, 2008 12:25 AMCongratulations! Ahh, October - the 31 days that have kept me in New England for my 41 years in spite of the either cold and wet or hot and damp misery that is the rest of the year.
