Our next retreat is in the South Pacific (because you can never go there too many times!) and it will be a week on Royal Caribbean's Radiance of the Seas.

A fireplace-warmed, luxurious yet cosy Welsh house was the perfect place in which to indulge in all things writing-related as snow fell outside. With Tess Woods as our mentor, we spent the five days on a schedule of writing, workshops, one to one sessions with Tess explaining her critique of chapters we'd sent before the retreat, sessions creating our own websites, and some downtime for relaxing and a little sightseeing. I loved the experience, for the stress free block of time to write, the valuable input from Tess and the friendships formed between us. Lifetime, we vowed. And we keep in touch. That's why I recommend writers retreats to anyone who asks. And yours sounds just as fabulous as Tess's.Enisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14618040099949009436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-28194757988394156942018-12-03T19:07:38.803+11:002018-12-03T19:07:38.803+11:00Hi Alli, your writer’s retreat sounds like a wonde...Hi Alli, your writer’s retreat sounds like a wonderful opportunity to learn and boost creativity.
