What a blast this was for the women writers who took part in this first retreat, and what a blast it was for me. I was the worker bee, but I loved it. We had authors Lisa Fugard and Gayle Brandeis do workshops, I did a mini-workshop on the steps to writing a novel, we shared work, we wrote from photographs, we played Balderdash and went for a midnight swim. Such a harmonious, talented, fun group of women. Here are a few photos to give you a sense of what happened and how it was for us.

All photos taken by me except for the group portrait at the bottom, shot by the talented Ellen Bell.
