Dear Write On, Door County,

Thank you for this truly invaluable week. Not only did I finish my translation of Jag ringer mina broder (I Call My Brothers) but I was also able to make headway on inroads for publication of my translation.

The peace and hospitality I experienced while here were invigorating. I very much look forward to returning to spend time here working on my own novels and future translation projects.

Happy New Year,

Barbara Williams (Park Forest, IL)
Fiction writer and translator
