I'm really stuck on the last 20k words of my first novel and it sounds like this might be just the thing I need to finally finish it.

I was wondering about your observations regarding groups. Did some groups "gel" better than others? Do you have some specific process for "breaking the ice?" Also curious to know if you noticed any patterns in the writing retreats you've attended and hosted. Continued success to you!

Your post here is getting me to think about setting up a writing retreat for my writing sisters group. Though finances and time make it tough for me to get to my "dream" retreats (Maui, anyone?), I'm hoping to attend another soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-11350489748084410342015-06-03T09:58:08.282-04:002015-06-03T09:58:08.282-04:00My budget and schedule has stopped me so far.

I'd love another opportunity to attend one as fabulous as Madcap!
