Another "Writing From the Heart" writing retreat has come and gone and another bouquet of Red Rover Writing friends are on their way to creating great works with their time and talents.
Who are the Red Rover Writers?
Picture a place of solitude, your own cabin in the woods. Deer, chipmunks, cobalt blue butterflies... nature is your neighbor. Leafy green canopies and hiking paths make strolling with characters inviting. There's creative space, a place to ponder, a place to fall, sprawl and play with memory to find your stories there.
Daily craft workshops set your inner child at play. Writers meet, greet and feed on learned writing gems and decadent foods, prepared with a plethora of textures, colors, and flavors. Lifelong friends are made in this week of focused play. Best of all you have a quiet place for dreaming, a haven, where you can write, write, write away.
As with the child's game of Red Rover, closing the last workshop we talk about the care and keeping of you, the writer. Writers band together strengthening their grip and call fear over. Red Rover Writers standing together leave fear lonely. There is no place for fear, self doubt, insecurity, or anything else bleak to go, but away. Group support is too strong to succumb to the opposition of a writer's determination for publication success.
