I had the immense pleasure of doing a month long writing residency at the Fondation Brocher in Hermance, Switzerland. Met with very interesting colleagues staying there at the same time, and we enjoyed the views and discovered together that writing is always hard, even in a very inspiring place! 🤓 😀
