All-Day DIY At-Home BWWG Writing Retreat

The BWWG presents another round of our popular DIY retreat event! This is an all-day, at-home (or wherever you want to write for a good long while) writing session for our members to take a longer stretch of time to stretch and flex our writing muscles. We love our twice-weekly meetups, and this is an extension of that space, with an all-day format ideal for going more deeply into a single project, or experimenting between different exercises and free-writing throughout the day. It's up to you!

This "retreat" will be conducted remotely, with regular optional Zoom check-ins throughout the day, where we'll have encouragement, friendly faces, and solidarity in our practice! Ideally participants will commit to the whole day in order to get the most out of this retreat, but we also understand this isn't possible for everyone.

If you have any resources you'd like to bring for the group please feel free! We'll compile some links to good writing playlists, prompts, writing exercises, snack suggestions, and arm/wrist stretches.
