LOTTERY DAYDREAM, WRITER'S EDITION

Turning a Fictional Setting from the Sean McPherson Novels Into a Real-Life Haven for Writers

If I ever hit the jackpot, the first thing I’d do is bring Pines & Quill to life.

For those who know the Sean McPherson novels, you know exactly what that means. I'd build a real-life writing retreat in Bellingham, WA. Honestly, it feels less like a daydream and more like a blueprint.

• The Schedule: Four writers-in-residence every month, from January to October.

• The Fuel: Len preparing incredible, gourmet meals daily.

• The Ritual: Morning tai chi led by me in the pavilion.

What's your ultimate "If I won the lottery" writing dream?
