Daily updates on my blog
My husband teases me because when I’m excited about a trip, I often pack my suitcase a week in advance. In a similar vein, I am so darn excited about my upcoming writing residency for the Langdon Review, I decided to post daily updates about it right here on my blog. I thought I was going to wait until I was actually in Granbury, but apparently that’s not how I roll! I will continue posting once a day throughout my residency.
What is this residency?
The Langdon Review Weekend is an amazing annual literary conference, and I am super thrilled and honored to be their resident writer (and photographer!) this year. My residency starts on August 27th. I’ll be staying in the gorgeous historic town of Granbury, Texas through September 10th with the sole purpose of creating and reaching out to the community, both in person and online. (Click here to read my blog post about last year’s Langdon Review Weekend.)
Party, PhotoWalk & More!
My residency kicks off with a party on August 27th – and you’re all invited, both online and in person! (Click here for details.) And while I’m sure there will be several quiet and reclusive writing/photography/music days, I also have some social interaction and community outreach planned, including a paranormal investigation with Greg Stephens of TxRIP, and a photowalk through Granbury’s historic town square. Stay tuned!
Do you have any suggestions?
This is my first time being a writer-in-residence, and I want to do a good job. Do you have any suggestions for ways to make the most of it and reach out to the city of Granbury? Do you have any tips for fun things to see/do/photograph/write about while I am there? Restaurant suggestions? If so, please leave a comment below. I’d love to hear from you!
