Tayari's Blog: On My Way To The Frozen Tundra

I am getting myself ready to go to the Vermont Studio Center, where I will be a Visiting Writing. I'll give a reading, give manuscript consultations, and deliver a craft talk. I know it seems like a lot of work, but in return I get a little extra Christmas cash, and I will be able to enjoy VSC and spend some quality time working on my own manuscript. I am looking forward to the trip, but Man-Oh-Man is it going to be cold up there!

I'll have wi-fi in my apartment, so I'll post photos and a report about how the place is set up, food, etc. It seems like a nice idea-- as a resident writer, you would get your own quiet workspace, but also have access to the visiting writer who would look at your manuscript. Also, it seems that the resident writers are there for about a month, but visiting writers are rotated every week and the roster of visitors looks pretty swanky. So, more details to come.

xoxo, T

I think my friend Ruben Quesada, a poet, is there now. I'll tell him to say hi to you.
