Light the Fire:  Writing Retreat at Asilomar,  August  19th, 2023

Have you always wanted to write? Are you having trouble getting the time and focus to make it happen?  Do you have a story that needs to be told...that lives in you, wanting so much to come out and be seen and heard by the world?

Have you put it off so that you could take care of everyone else, until you wonder if it will EVER happen?  It can if you take action...

Join me at beautiful Asilomar, in Pacific Grove,

for a one-day writer’s retreat on

Saturday, August 19th, 2023.

Whether you are working on a book, a short story, or want to knock out your blog copy, newsletter, or article, this retreat will give you the space to be seen, for your words to be valued, for the ability of a natural writer to be revealed.

This retreat is all about beginninngs and completion. I will focus on ways to create and maintain your motivation so that you follow through for yourself and accomplish what you have set out to do.  We will discuss the various ideas about how to begin, and how to finish, and how to take the initiative to create a vision and follow through all the way till

Mission Accomplished!

We will look at what the difference is between having an idea and having an objective, and how to create action in your day that moves you into goals that will get your objective out of the "idea" stage and into the realized state of an accomplished goal.

We will talk about goals and how they can keep you focused.  Setting effective goals is key to making your energy function at its best.

I will share my system for making time work for you instead of against you and how to keep yourself from letting your vision down and losing momentum.

Learn how to build motivation for your writing into your day, so that it becomes a habit that supports you. 

Gain tools for perseverance that will see you through the hard parts.

Get into your own deepest energy and connect with the things you know, the gifts you have that you can share with the world.
