Hi guys,
I'll be quick--the doctor thinks it's tendonitis in my hand so I'm going to chill out and try not to type for a while....therefore, I'm just going to post a couple things here and there as they come in until my hand gets better. These are from Funds for Writers (thanks Hope!). Cheers,
Mirabee
(WRITERS) EL GOUNA RESIDENCIES - EGYPT
http://www.elgouna.com/
During each session four to six writers will enjoy a complimentary
full month stay at El Gouna, Red Sea. Writers will be
inspired by El Gouna's picturesque setting and will be given
a memorable, intellectual opportunity to interact with writers
from different walks of life. Each writer will be invited to
enjoy full-board accommodations in a single, tailor-furnished
hotel room at El Gouna. All rooms are designed to act as both
a bedroom and a private writing space that is equipped with a
spacious desk and free wireless internet connection. Writers
will be expected to participate in a Reading Event held at the
Bibliotheca Alexandrina (Library of Alexandria) branch of El
Gouna. The multinational audience invited to attend will
include various reporters as well as interested intellectuals
residing or visiting Egypt. The Reading Event will be presented
in either English or French. Deadline December 15, 2010.

Mira, I read I about your hand issue and I am going to suggest you look into a "Bamboo" pad and pen which will let you "type" without a keyboard. Being as you are from MA like me I will suggest looking in Staples . . . the bamboos are pretty inexpensive and they are designed for both graphic artists and people with mobility issues so it might help you.
The El Gouna residencies are only for writers who have published a book.
