Nimrod Hall, Here I Come!

For many years I’ve traveled to Nimrod Hall in Millboro, Virginia, for their annual writing retreat. Nimrod has inspired several of my stories and given me hours of valuable writing time.

Last year I kept a travel log of my two weeks at Nimrod. I shared everything from packing my bags…

Packed for Nimrod Hall Writers' Workshop

…to the wild women writers I met there.

As I prepare to depart, I look forward to my misty morning walks,

and family-style meals with writer friends,

and uninterrupted writing time.

No writer is ever disturbed between breakfast and lunch–and seldom otherwise.

This year I will share my travel log on my Facebook page. I hope you’ll join me there.

Happy writing!

  1. Wow, looks great, particularly the conclusion. I was looking
    for that subject for a few times throughout the nest,
    but there was nothing precious. So pleased to achieve your post in the conclusion. I
    am keen on that theme, and I want to be constantly aware of the latest news.
    That’s a joy to read your article and finally clarify the issue myself.
