Writers In Writing (and other writing)
1. August 24th 2008 @ 07:04. Jayne Kearney Says:
Jo,

What an envy-inducing post. Firstly, your description of your time at Hedgebrook Women's Writers Colony sounds heavenly - especially the hand delivered Litte Red Riding Hood lunch! (after the writing and the community spirit of course)

And your cruise with these fabulous writers (about whom my interest is piqued) would have been the highlight of my week had it been on my calendar - although I'm sure I would have been terrified to air my slender wit and intellect in front of such heavyweights. I love how you described your thoughts as putting on their best party clothes for the outing.

Thanks again for the glimpse into an 'honest to gosh' writing life. Inspirational as always.

Jayne

Do doctors long to spend long lunches with other surgeons and gastro-intestinal specialists ...

Only the dull ones Joanne. The interesting ones would rather have a long lunch with Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley et al

I'm glad you wrote this. I used to belong to a writers' group before I moved. On the surface, I'm sure we looked rather dull but sometimes we did things pretty cool and other times mind stimulating but never dull! Sounds like you had a GREAT time!!!!

Once again you have given me that little push to keep going with what I love to do--to just write! I wish I had a cottage like that to vanish myself into simple solitude without noise or kids or hubby's wanting something. However the picture posted will forever remain a tranquil image of hopefulness in my mind that someday I too may be surrounded by such pleasures with such amazing people willing to share my thoughts without thinking me a fool.

You are so talented and I love you for it my teacher of words!

Jayne, you should get to Hedgebrook sometime in your life. I will send you the details. I will also do a post about it sometime soon. It is truly a blessed space in this world. You would have had no trouble fitting in on that boat - you have no reason to feel intimidated to air your 'slender wit amongst such heavyweights.' Mostly, when writers are not being complete arseholes and ego-maniacs, they are fabulously entertaining and engaging as my companions were on that day.

Too true, Chris.

James, writers groups are so much fun if you get the right balance of people, don't you think?

JP, what a beautiful message. I hope, that you too will find your way to a writers colony someday. Every (woman especially) writer needs and deserves this island of space in which to focus on her creativity. You keep at it, and you will make it happen

Jo
