Recently, on the weekend of March 20-22 , I had a wonderful experience as a professional guest, joining Tim Waggoner and Michael Knost for a Novel Writing Writers Retreat and Workshop in West Virginia that involved some wonderfully talented writers that everyone should keep an eye on! Darius Jones, Addie King, Rebecca Cuthbert, Ed Downes, Travis Sayre, and Nessa Brown were the participants in this workshop. All of them are writers who are dedicated to improving their craft and willing to listen and put in the work necessary.

The discussions were insightful and highly constructive, and there was a real sense of camaraderie and mutual support between them. I look forward to watching their writing journeys in the years to come and am confident that they are capable of creating some amazing work!

Holly and I had a blast visiting with everyone too! Also, a big shout-out to Lee E. E. Stone for coming up to join everyone for dinner on Saturday evening, was GREAT to see him again! Until the next time… Onwards and Upwards!
