#riwc

we are the fourth generation of #RIWC writers, and these hands are our tools, what we use to give life to all of the magic banging around in our brains. And if you look close enough you'll find our ⚫️⚫️⚫️⚫️ - that symbol of time spent in the company of some of the most amazing people, laughing talking learning watching living. I love me some of them.

the Rhode Island Writers Colony is much more than a place to come together and create - it's love and support and discussion and (vegetarian) dinners (can I please have a burger?!?) and foolishness and laughter and escape. But most of all, it's family. Thank you Mama Dianne and John and Jason for giving me these two weeks and helping me find my words again. I had not been able to write new prose for months prior to the residency and considered telling you to give my space to someone more worthy, a writer with some real talent, not a wannabe like myself - i am so glad I did not (thank you, Christine). I am forever thankful for y'all and the space you've carved out for our family of word warriors: @authorcppatrick @johnalynn @acevedowrites @tevsmith @jasonreynolds83 @irvinwrites @becomher @ramonariel @thecleveragency @dianne_stephenson - we are the luckiest crew ever 🖤 #writerslife #writersresidency #RIWC #brookestephenson #writer #writing #friends #family #curryscentedbitch #browngirlmagic (at Warren, Rhode Island)
