I love everything about this… And I can feel your struggle so intensely. I have been there myself. Your essay? It may just nudge me in a similar direction. Thank you for sharing your truth so beautifully. And that writer? I have met her in person. She is everything you expect her to be and more. I fell in love with her first through her memoirs, not her fiction, but I promise you will soak up so much wisdom from her. I understand her latest memoir, the one that just got picked up, is a tour de force.
I have had the immense privilege of meeting this author and she is incredible—you will not regret one moment of this. I did a writing retreat in the fall that felt indulgent when I booked it, and I came away refreshed, rejuvenated and able to look at my work with new eyes—and a whole group of new writer friends. SO glad you are doing this.
Caroline!! I ate every word up. I wish we still lived in the same city so I could hear your stories!! And, of course, I am so glad you are going; I didn't want any other ending!
I loved reading this, as I always love reading everything you write! Please, please let me know how this turns out. I think I know who the writer is -- and I'll be so curious to hear about her workshop! Hope it's glorious!
Omg I loved this so much! I actually just did a weeklong writers retreat at Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan, and I had the same internal debate - I have to tell you I’m so glad I went!!! The first few days were a little rough, giving myself permission to dive in, but I walked away feeling so fulfilled and inspired! Go and have fun! 🤩 I I went because I loved one of the authors but I walked away with a few new idols too!!!
Just finally had an easy morning read this and am SO proud of you. I went through this same mental wrestling match with myself about my MBA, but am so glad I went through it all.
Love your elegant descriptions, but am wondering - what enneagram are you?

I love this!! Go!! And then tell us about it. You can have what you want. I know the nights crying in the dark on my side of the bed. Go
