DIY Writing Retreat
Everything you need to create a two-day writing retreat for yourself!
PLANNING MATERIALS
You’ll start with our workbook to help you set a goal, build an agenda, pick a location, plan your meals, and make a few rules for yourself. Complete these prompts and worksheets before your two-day retreat begins.
WORKSHOP 1: QUARRY
There’s gold in your personal history. We’ll help you find it—and use it to make your writing fuller, deeper, more you.
In this two-hour workshop, we’ll lead you on a personal excavation of your earliest creative self. You’ll uncover rich new ideas and details to make your writing sparkle.
WORKSHOP 2: SCRAPS
Where does good writing begin? It’s not a bolt out of the blue. It’s an ongoing practice of honing your curiosity, tracking your ideas and observations, and connecting them in exciting ways.
“Composting” is at the heart of this practice. In this two-hour workshop, you’ll learn how to do it.
