Description: Join us for the Redbud Writing Project’s annual one-day summer generative writing retreat, hosted at the Work in Progress Art & Story Studios, a 10-acre forested property and rustic event space in Pittsboro. Arshia and Emily will kick off the day with a mix of prompts, lectures, brainstorming, and activities designed to inspire you and get you writing. In the afternoon, writers will have time to work on their projects by themselves,  as well as the opportunity to walk around the grounds and gain inspiration and perspective from the peaceful surroundings. At the end of the day, we’ll celebrate your hard work by taking a swim in the un-ground pool.

This retreat is ideal for writers who are in the drafting stage or are looking for new inspiration and ideas and want to spend the day in a scenic environment producing new work.

Snacks and drinks will be provided--make sure to bring a brown bag lunch too!
