WRITE ACROSS NEBRASKA
Chadron
July 17-18-19, 2009
RETREAT CONCEPT: Open to all writers (not just NWG members), this “time apart” from your regular day-to-day demands, is intended to motivate you to WRITE as much as possible. You may want to separate yourself from others to focus OR you have the option of participating in chats with other writers, brief workshops and/or peer critiques of works-in-progress. NOTE: You do not have to participate in the entire weekend, but may choose to come for one day or any portion.
Significant others (spouses) will find plenty of opportunities to commiserate with people who also understand the unique demands of “living with a writer.” The area also offers opportunities for relaxation, touring, shopping.
