It's hot in the valley today, but there will be some cool fiction read tonight at Stories on Stage! I also want to let you know about a new opportunity to get away and do some writing at a family farm up north; though this opportunity isn't free, it is in conjunction with local author and teacher Jennifer Basye Sander, so I wanted to pass it along to you!
Happy writing,
Kate

WRITE AT THE FARM with Jennifer Basye Sander
For complete details, head to www.writeatthefarm.com.
Jennifer says, "After years of doing writers' retreat weekends at our house in Tahoe, I am bowing to requests to do something up at the family farm in Washington. Located in the heart of the Skagit Valley just down the road from the tulip headquarters, my great-grandfather's farm is midway between the towns of La Conner and Mt. Vernon, about an hour and a half north of Seattle. Easy to get to, and wonderful to settle into once you are there, relax and let the scenery and the history inspire you. All you have to do is be a writer for those few days, I take care of everything else. Meals, wine, and a private room are included in the $385 price, and there are only four spots available. This is your chance to spend a pampered but productive and creative weekend in the company of other writers and publishing folk. Call if you want to ask questions -- 916-847-9090. For those coming from far away, the Skagit Valley is a great jumping off point for a longer trip and I am happy to make suggestions."
Check it out! I wrote with Jennifer in Tahoe last year and had a fun and productive weekend. She's a great cook and a great writing resource - and a whole lot of fun!
