I cannot wait for next week. Yes. There's beautiful Kechum involved. Lakes and sky and stars. Yes. There's time away to submerge and immerse myself into writing, no laundry or pups or hungry man-cubs or plants or dishes, just me for a couple of days. But mostly, there's this incredible line-up with writers I respect and admire:

Christian A. Winn Alan Heathcock CMarie Fuhrman Kim Cross

Writers' Retreat Shaina Tranquilino August 21, 2024

Julia had always dreamed of becoming an author, but her life in the city felt like a series of distractions. Between her job at the marketing firm, the endless stream of social obligations, and the constant buzz of urban life, she rarely found the time—or the courage—to pursue her passion seriously.

So when she stumbled upon an ad for a writers’ retreat in the remote mountains, it felt like a sign. “Discover your voice, find your story,” the brochure promised. It was exactly what she needed. Without hesitation, she signed up, packed her bags, and embarked on the journey.

The retreat was nestled deep in the woods, far from any town. As Julia drove up the winding road, the city slowly faded from her mind, replaced by towering pines, misty peaks, and the soothing sound of a nearby river. The retreat itself was a cozy lodge, surrounded by cabins where the participants would stay. It was the perfect setting for reflection and creativity.

Upon arrival, Julia was greeted by Anna, the retreat’s founder. A seasoned author with a gentle demeanor, Anna radiated warmth and wisdom. “Welcome, Julia,” she said with a smile. “We’re here to help you find the story that’s been waiting inside you.”

The retreat brought together a small group of aspiring writers, each with their own struggles and dreams. Over the next week, they shared their works-in-progress, received feedback, and participated in workshops designed to hone their skills. Julia was initially nervous about sharing her writing, fearing judgment or rejection. But the group’s encouragement surprised her. They saw potential in her words, in the characters she’d crafted and the emotions she’d woven into her narrative.

One evening, after a particularly moving session, Anna took Julia aside. “You have a gift, Julia,” she said softly. “But more than that, you have a voice that deserves to be heard. I think you’ve been holding back, afraid of what others might think. But here, in this space, you’re free to explore, to take risks. Trust yourself.”

Those words lingered in Julia’s mind as she sat by the fire that night, the crackling logs filling the silence. She thought about the stories she had always wanted to tell, the ideas she had tucked away, thinking they weren’t good enough. Slowly, she began to realize that she wasn’t just at the retreat to learn the craft of writing—she was there to discover herself.

The next day, Julia approached her writing with a newfound sense of purpose. She allowed herself to be vulnerable on the page, to pour her heart into her story without reservation. As the words flowed, she felt a shift within her, as if the barriers she had built over the years were crumbling away. She wrote about love, loss, hope, and resilience, drawing from deep within her soul.

When it was time to share her new work with the group, Julia was filled with nervous excitement. As she read aloud, the room was silent, each listener absorbed in her tale. When she finished, the room erupted in applause, not just polite, but genuine. Julia’s heart swelled with pride and a sense of belonging.

Anna approached her again after the session, her eyes filled with pride. “You’ve found your voice, Julia. Now it’s time to let the world hear it.”

By the end of the retreat, Julia had not only developed her writing skills but also forged deep connections with the other writers. They had become her community, her support system. They exchanged contact information, promising to keep in touch, to continue supporting each other on their creative journeys.

As Julia drove away from the retreat, the mountains fading in the distance, she felt a profound sense of peace. She had come to the retreat seeking direction, and she was leaving with something far greater—a new sense of purpose, a community of fellow writers, and the belief that she could, and would, write the stories that mattered most to her.

For the first time in a long time, Julia felt like an author, not just in title, but in spirit. And she knew that this was only the beginning of her journey.

Try fight bitterness

In the 31st year of my life….I met an unfamiliar foe… The bitterness of an old young black woman… I can’t even begin to explain how life has been. If I said my whole life it would be lie. But most of adult life has been what we millennials call “A Lot”. At each and every turn I’ve had to fight what I call the unfamiliar foe… Bitterness. Let me explain. Bitterness is not something you see coming…

I was in a #writingretreat this weekend where the instructor insisted during our breaks that we not let our energy dissipate. I struggled with that the first two days, then I remembered this puzzle my brother bought for my son. This is what I did during the writing retreat breaks. Everything but the hellacious filler white pieces was done by Sunday with quiet, non-energy-dissipating help from the rest of the family. The rest was tackled by brute force Monday morning when I sat alone yelling things like, “I thought @iamchristianv loved me!” 😂 https://www.instagram.com/p/ClzyO7iItjn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
