I have been accepted for a Writer's Residency on the island of Crete! Timing is flexible, so I am proposing a two week stay at the beginning of May. The residency is at a resort called the Three Rock Resort, and is organized by Eyelands, a Greek publishing house. I have received what they call a "half stipend", so the cost of the resort is reduced by 50%, making the two week stay very inexpensive. I am one of 19 writers who have been accepted, although many will be staying at other parts of the year. I proposed to work on "These White Shadows", the third part of my wartime trilogy. The short piece I am currently doing on the Jungian therapeutic relationship is shaping up to be a kind of introduction to that text, since it mixes several fictions with real autobiographical material and deals with repercussions of traumatic experiences in the previous generation.
Well that's going to be fun! Congrats.
