Why VCFA is BETTER than Hogwarts...

9/16/2014

It's been 70 days since residency and as I wait for my advisor's feedback, I'm reading YA novels (e. Lockhart's We Were Liars and Matt de la Pena's We Were Here are next on my list) and taking a virtual trip back to Vermont. So here's a few more pics from summer residency at "Hogwarts" for children's and young adult writers, this time with why Vermont College of Fine Arts is better than wizarding school.
The Forbidden Forest isn't forbidden - and instead of dangerous creatures it offers awesome trails with views like these:

No need to schlep into town to get your butter beers, Cafe Anna (see left) is right on campus. In fact, it's actually in College Hall right next to one of the lecture halls.

BUT, if you do want to head down the hill to downtown Montpelier, it's a very cool place to explore. See the pics below!

    Reflections on Writing

    Picture
    I love few things better than a bottomless to-read list of books and firmly believe the world has room for all the stories we want to share. This blog is intended to provide resources and spark discussion about improving writing. Opinions are my own and not intended to discredit anyone else's work, only to open conversation. Thanks for reading!
