Writing Excuses (Re)Generate Retreat: Unlock Your Creative Process

Sometimes maintaining momentum as a writer is hard. We all experience times of drought, where the ideas won’t arrive and the words won’t flow. Or times where the busy nature of life simply blocks us from hitting our goals.

In either case, the answer often isn’t to push harder. It’s to pause, reset, and carve out dedicated time where you can simply be creative.

Next summer, Writing Excuses Retreats invites you to nurture your creative process, unlock inspiration and find companionship among fellow writers in our second (re)Generate Retreat.

For one week, hosts Mary Robinette Kowal, Erin Roberts, and Sandra Tayler will guide you through a restorative retreat designed to help you ignite and nurture your creativity. The week will include interactive and collaborative workshops and classes balanced with plenty of free time to connect, write, brainstorm, or simply stroll the grounds of the retreat center.

Listen to what our attendees have to say about last year’s retreat here.

 

*This is not an MOCRC event, but because of its openness to the public and alignment with our mission, we’re delighted to promote it here*
