| All writers are welcomed warmly at the Barn at Boyds Mills! |
This weekend, I'll be packing up my laptop and heading
off to the woods for an "Unworkshop" at the Highlights Foundation. I
was very fortunate to attend two fantasy workshops at Highlights in the
past led by authors Laura Ruby and Anne Ursu. (You can find all the
blog posts I wrote chronicling those workshops here and here.) Those experiences were nothing short of magical with outstanding faculty,
plenty of time to write, a peaceful environment, and some of the most
delicious food I've eaten in my entire life.
This is my first time attending an "Unworkshop." Instead of a
structured workshop with faculty, the "Unworkshops" are simply an
opportunity to hide away in a cabin for a few days with fellow writers
and write 'til your fingers fall off. (Which essentially equates to
"Writers' Heaven!") At the prior workshops I attended, I met many other
wonderful fantasy writers, and several of us are using this "Unworkshop" as an
opportunity for a mini-reunion. I'm looking forward to catching up with
old friends, and meeting lots of new writers, too.
Since this isn't a structured workshop, I won't be posting
daily summaries of my time at Highlights as I did in the past. I'm just
going to enjoy the quiet, eat (and eat, and eat some more), and spend
some long-overdue, quality time with my manuscripts.
See you when I get back!
