The full story:
Eight years ago at Hedgebrook’s farmhouse table, I sat across from Naomi Williams, Sara Nović, Dionne Ford, Celeste Gainey, and Xochitl-Julisa Bermejo. We gave our cohort a name and that name was The Slug Sisters (after the many slugs we saw on the land.) As we ate, we shared stories (rarely about writing, come to think of it). Afterwards, we walked to Useless Bay and back (insert your own metaphor here). The next day we did it all over again.

Eight years later, we are still in contact and that feels like magic. It feels like exactly what residencies are supposed to do.

I’m so excited that on December 14, Naomi and I will discuss my book The Nutcracker Chronicles, the first draft of which was completed at Hedgebrook. Please join us! Naomi is sure to guide us through a gratifying journey blending writing, life, friends, process, and product.
