If you’ve wondered in from Brenda Margriet’s wonderful blog or are starting your tour with me, hold on to your hats because today we’re going on vacation to some wonderful writers retreats.
This week I asked the group to: Describe your perfect writing retreat.
I think of a writers retreat as a working vacation, and my perfect writing retreat would include a number of key elements.
1. A group of avid, romance writers.
Nothing gets the creative juices flowing like interacting with other creative people, and romance writers are the best kind of people. We all have a group of crazy characters talking to us in our heads, and wherever two or more are gathered, there will be shop talk.
2. A comfortable unique gathering space.
It can be a cabin in the woods, a beach front tropical resort, or just a nice hotel. It’s preferably a place I haven’t been before. A new place to explore is great for inspiring a new scene in whatever I’m writing.
3. Good food.
Whether ordering in a good restaurant or choosing from a catered buffet, sharing a dining table with a group of romance authors is always fun and inspiring.
4. Wine.
Come on, you knew this was next, and it really should be self-explanatory.
5. Some inspiring speakers.
Maybe that best-selling author, or an editor from a popular publishing house. Someone who is ‘there’ and doesn’t mind sharing their experiences.
So, where is my next writers retreat? The 2015 Write Touch Conference April 24-26 in Milwaukee, WI.
Yeah, I’m stoked.
Now I hear you. Where in the world would Raine Balkera go for her perfect writers retreat? Lucky for you, it’s just one click away:
A Writer's Haven 
Wish I could be there, too, Steven. Enjoy!
Thanks Kim. It should be a blast.
I’ve only been to one writers conference, but I am definitely planning to go to more. They are so inspiring!
It really is a great experience. I come home fired up to write.
Your retreat sounds absolutely perfect! Enjoy your conference!
Thanks Susan ♥
Sounds fabulous, when are we leaving?
Just as soon as you get here 🙂
I’m jealous – your conference sounds wonderful! Loved the pictures you posted.
Thanks Mikki, the two speakers were from last years conference.
Fun read! Enjoy your time at the conference, too 😀
Thanks Raine. ♥
We really need to find a conference all the RWW writers can make it to. Imagine the fun we’d have!
Oh yes! That would be amazing.
All good ingredients for a writers retreat! And I love the idea of a RWW retreat! What a blast that would be!
I totally agree.
