Have you ever picked up a nonfiction book but
put off reading it because you felt you already
knew everything about the topic and couldn't
possibly learn anything more?
Come on, be honest. It's the curse of the
writer. Writers the world over have the innate
urge to buy at least three times the number of
books we're able to read in one lifetime and
rarely finish reading them.
But Judy Reeves' The Writer's Retreat: A
Guide for Creative Exploration & Personal
Expression somehow managed to make it out of
my "to be read (and eventually
donated)" pile to my desk where I delighted
in ideas and information on writing retreats I
would never have considered.
If, like me, your notion of a writing retreat
involves at least a week away cloistered in
seclusion, you've only got part of the picture.
In today's world, not only is that definition of
a retreat limiting to the budget, it's limiting
to your creativity and writing process.
