Writing novels while holding down a full-time job and raising a couple kids is an exercise in slicing time into ever slimmer pieces. Fifteen minutes to jot down an idea here, a stolen half-hour after bedtime to revise a chapter there. Having a whole day–let alone an entire week–of uninterrupted creative time? That’s a rare and precious gift. Now pile on a community of supportive, caring, nurturing writers, and three mouthwatering meals a day delivered with a story, and morning yoga, and walks on the trails, and a sweet beagle named Molly. It’s magical. Thank you, Highlights!
