So for the last week I’ve been in the remote mountain hamlet of Truchas, NM, for this year’s Rio Hondo Workshop. Attending were Oz Drummond, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, Walter Jon Williams, Alex Jablokow, Michaela Roessner, Tara King, David D. Levine, Susan Forest, Rosemary Claire Smith, Alan Smale, Jen Volant, and Kim Zimring.
We read each other’s work, ate each other’s food, drank each other’s booze, and generally had a fine time. My favorite kind of vacation is the one where I come back more drained and exhausted than when I left, and this week fit the bill precisely.
