The barista at one of my local coffee spots noticed I’d been gone awhile so when he asked, I told him I’d been in Crete at an artist’s residency. He’s from Cyprus so we had a good old chat about food and language and weather and then I went outside to drink my coffee and write.
Mid-write, a man walked up to me and said, “Did I overhear you say you were at an artist residency?” “Yes,” I said.
“Oh, what kind of artist are you?” he asked.
“I’m a playwright,” I said, which is, of course only part of the story but for the purpose of this artist residency I was at, it’s the simplest answer, so I told him “playwright.”
