Still mulling over possible dates for weekend writing retreats in May (still time to catch the glorious Skagit Valley spring!) and July (when we can have fresh-caught crab for dinner if I am lucky at sea). Much activity in the barn right now, getting it ready for a local wedding in August and the possibility that we can hold larger writing events out there throughout the year. Farms, there is always something that needs doing...

About the Write At The Farm Retreats --
Okay... after years of doing writers' retreat weekends at our house in Tahoe, I am bowing to requests to do something up at the family farm in Washington. Located in the heart of the Skagit Valley just down the road from the tulip headquarters, my great-grandfather's farm is midway between the towns of La Conner and Mt. Vernon, about an hour and a half north of Seattle. Easy to get to, and wonderful to settle into once you are there, relax and let the scenery and the history inspire you. All you have to do is be a writer for those few days, I take care of everything else. Meals, wine, and a private room are included in the $385 price, and there are only four spots available. This is your chance to spend a pampered but productive and creative weekend in the company of other writers and publishing folk. Call if you want to ask questions -- 916-847-9090. For those coming from far away, the Skagit Valley is a great jumping off point for a longer trip and I am happy to make suggestions.
