On February 7-8, 2025, I’ll be hosting a retreat for writers at North Wind Manor, the Rabbit Room’s big beautiful house in Nashville. Unlike the Summer Writers’ Weekend, which is limited to members of The Habit Membership, the Winter Writers’ Weekend is open to any writer who wants to come.
We’re still working on the schedule, but you can expect the following:
- Teaching times (led by Jonathan Rogers)
- Critique groups
- Group writing activities/exercises
- Opportunities to read your work aloud (and hear your colleagues read theirs)
- Ample free time
- Good meals
- Plentiful snacks
- A live recording of The Habit Podcast
I should clarify that this is not the kind of retreat where you have lots of quiet to work on your work-in-progress. Rather, it’s a weekend to connect with other writers, learn, be encouraged, encourage others, and go home feeling a little more equipped and energized to complete that work-in-progress—or tackle that work that isn’t in progress.
