Today’s post is by writer and literary consultant Grace Bialecki ( @GraceBialecki ). Then the expat community led me to a drop-in workshop at Shakespeare & Company.

I did have a long list of things I wanted to accomplish: revise an old project and start a new one; write a newsletter/blog post, draft two essays, work on marketing, and so on. Ah, a writing retreat. Doesn’t the idea sound amazing?

How do some freelance writers demand $1/word while you’re stuck at $100/article (or less)? Or their poetry-dripping prose. But what’s more likely: those freelance writers have learned how to find, attract, and retain high-paying clients. Other writers might want more direction, meetings, and belongingness of a team.

How can we embrace the positive side of being jealous of the success of other writers? That's why I asked Christine to do this project with me. Part of the reason we are writers is because it's the way we figure out things in our lives and on the page and try and communicate them to other people. So I feel some empathy there.

Then I went on to the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop to do a graduate degree MFA in fiction, poetry, and also, literary translation. Thanks to the literary translation, I was able to get a Fulbright grant to Italy to participate in a translation workshop, and I managed to stay on here. I've also been teaching.
