Lori L. Lake's Writing
Academy Presents: You have a story that wants to be written, but think you have no time to write it. Or you tell yourself you'll "get around to it, someday"... Well, someday has arrived! It's time for new beginnings. Give yourself the gift of dedicated time to get the words out of your head and onto the page. Memoir, novels, poetry, or essays--all topics and types of women writers are welcome to read, write, revise, and reflect. The retreat will be led by multi-published author Lori L. Lake including meals, which will allow you to concentrate on your craft. You'll enjoy healthy, tasty food, lots of quiet, and the support of other writers to encourage you to let your words flow. Come together at mealtimes to share your progress or your challenges, or just to relax in the creative energy and camaraderie. (More details below)

No laundry facilities in the houses, but there is a full kitchen in each house. Colonyhouse has wi-fi and the cell signal is good. Brechthouse does not have wi-fi. Evenings we'll have time to gather in the living room and talk about craft, technique, writing, publishing, and other writerly issues. Lori will read up to 5,000 words of each writer's work-in-progress and meet privately with you for an hour to talk about your work and about your writing goals and approach. If you drive, a map and directions will be provided. If you fly, you will come to Portland (PDX) and arrangements can be made for you to be picked up the first Sunday to ride to the coast and then back to the airport the following Sunday afternoon.
