Writers who live away from their mother tongue gain new words and ideas, but pay a slightly higher price than the average expat. We can find ourselves constantly searching for language experiences that give us energy rather than requiring it, listeners who deeply understand all the nuances of our words and wording, and in-person community with fellow writers. In this workshop we'll talk about that experience, consider some ways to keep lines flowing in our native language (and maybe even in the new language!) and we can share some work that has come out of our lives abroad.
