I love finding writing communities. I first met CMarie Fuhrman at Arts By the People 2 years ago in a writing workshop. She invited us to participate in IdaPost, Wish You Were Here, a pen pal project she conceived “investigating place through story – our place, this place, the place of the past and even of the future.” This was a collaboration between the Idaho Commission on the Arts and CMarie, the Idaho Writer in Residence, who recently completed her tenure. I was happy to jump in. I met two fantastic writers over 2 years, my pen pals–Peggy Larsen and Andrea Eldridge. All the pen pals contributed to a publication, as a culmination to our project based on our postcard prompts. Thank you CMarie, Peggy and Andrea for this creative adventure and welcoming me, a New Jersey resident, into your Idaho community.
