It's me again, and I know you've spent all your Christmas money! But I am asking one more time for your help. I have achieved a rough manuscript of my memoir, at last. It's time to knock it into some kind of shape. And now I have been awarded a 3-week writing residency at Atlantic Center for the Arts in Florida! I will be away 02/12/23 through 03/04/23. My current instructor, Susanna Sonnenberg, will be my mentor there. So exciting! The residency is free but I need to pay for travel, shipping, food, printing, and - I am afraid - a new-to-me reconditioned laptop. It's a lot.

You have helped me so many times on this writing journey. I hate to ask again, and for so much. But here goes...

And thank you!
