What a surprise when I received the email - I'd been accepted into an artist residency at Chateau d' Orquevaux (chateauorquevaux.com). Located in Champagne-Ardenne, France, this will be my first time ever in this region.  Not only that, it will be my first artist residency. Not sure what to expect - other than being able to connect with other creatives, whether they be writers, painters or musicians, and learning and growing from each other. Of course I'm nervous. What if - during my 3 weeks there - I'm unable to produce anything worthwhile? It's hard to create when you're expected to create. That doesn't work for me - usually. Hopefully this time it will. Anyway, I'll keep you posted. I don't leave until the end of October, so I have months to worry about it (lol).
