Readers and writers are lucky. We get to visit all sorts of exotic places in the pages of books, and sometimes, are literary travels take us to real places we might not otherwise visit.
This weekend I had the honor of being the visiting writer at the Manzanita Writers Series in Manzanita, Oregon. A small beach town on the majestic Oregon coast, it is a place whose residents are deeply committed to reading and writing. Visiting this gem reminds me that there are beautiful small towns all across the globe filled with awesome sights and wonderful people.
So tag along with me on my trip to Manzanita Beach, and tell me, where is your favorite small town or the one you most want to visit?
