The entire “Writeen Crue” assembled at Brenda’s in Gambrills, MD, for our annual mentoring retreat, and it was our BEST ever. (Of course, we always say that, but it’s always true.) This year’s theme was “Character Arc,” tracing our protagonist’s growth from where he/she begins to where we will take him/her when the story is finished. We also reflected on our own character growth as individuals and as authors, quite a thought-provoking exercise.

Of course, our weekends are not all about serious writing.
