I am an official Hawthornden Fellow for 2013!
This is really exciting and I’m looking forward to going and getting work done. My proposal was accepted. I applied as a playwright/ performer. Hawthornden is a well-known writers’ retreat in Scotland and fellows get to stay a month in an ancient castle. Cool, huh? As you may know, I’m mostly Scotch and German, with a brush of Native American (just a spash). So I’ve wanted to go to Scotland for some time now. Also, I’ve wanted to visit Findhorn and check out the plants. So the plan is to start in Findhorn, rent a car and drive to the castle and stay for a month. I’ll also get some whisky and take some strolls in the country side. Really looking forward to an overseas writing trip. Check it out!
