What you'll do
Come out to a writing retreat on an Alpaca and Flower Farm surrounded by woods. Arrive at 8:30 for breakfast, tea, coffee, and a chance to meet everyone. Starting at 9:00, we will sit on the porch, with a view of the flower fields, as we write on a group icebreaker to warm us up. We will then have a two-hour block of time to work on a longer project of our choice. A lunch break will give us time to socialize and enjoy delicious food, and then we'll step outside to cut flowers and make our own arrangements. After lunch we will have another two-hour writing block, followed by sharing our progress. We'll wrap up at 4:00 with dessert and another chance to socialize.
