Tayari's Blog: Winter In Vermont!

I know that we are celebrating the end of winter, but it's time to start making plans for next year. I have been invited to be a writer-in-residence at the Vermont Studio Center! I'll be there from December 10-16.

The Vermont Studio Center is different from many other artist colonies in that part of the deal is that there is on-site instruction, as well as the opportunity to just hunker down and write. I will be giving a craft class, a reading, as well as one-on-one sessions with interested writers.

Interested? Check out their website. And apply sooner than later so that you can have a better chance of getting your preferred time slot.

(And here is some unsolicited advice from me: Go ahead and apply even if you aren't sure what your life will look like in December. So often, we don't put in for opportunities because we are hung up on "what-if". Just apply and if your schedule doesn't allow you to attend, you can just decline. But go ahead and apply. Even if you don't apply for this, apply for something. Put yourself out there. It's the only way you'll get something back.)
