Schwing AWP Conference

Yesterday, we attended the AWP Conference in Boston, Massachusetts. It was quite a change from the calm and laid back atmosphere in Woods Hole and New Hampton. We walked in and were overwhelmed by the amount of people, the noise, the large spaces, and realized how long we have been separated from reality. I remember in one moment I found myself standing still in the middle of a large walkway with traffic coming both ways. I stayed still and just took everything around me in, especially the fact that I was surrounded by thousands of brilliant writers. Our goal this week was to find inspiration and study authors and their inspirations and I couldn't pick a better moment than that to have seen inspiration head on.
