Mamas Writing Retreat April 13th
Do you have a story to tell, but no time to write it? Or maybe after a day of acting like Super Mom, you feel like you don’t have the energy to write the Great American Novel. Perhaps you sit down to write and instead of drafting sentences, you arrange playdates via email or post birthday pictures on Facebook. And then you guiltily think, “I need to spend more time writing.”
Well, what if you didn’t do that? What if you sat down to write and the ideas just kept coming, just as fast as you could type, ideas you didn’t even know you had and then, ten minutes later you read those ideas aloud and after you finished reading, people told you all the ideas that resonated with them.
After you read your work someone else reads something she just wrote—vivid images and beautiful phrases and stories that make you laugh out loud or cry. Then it’s someone else’s turn. And then you write again and it starts all over.
You’ll go home and look at your work, polish it off, and send it out to an editor at a magazine, newspaper, or website.
On Saturday, April 13 we’ll block out the noise of our kids, our spouses, and our smartphones. We’ll write our stories and listen to each other share our work. Come join us!

Cost: $40
