WELL, WHO KNOWS WHEN? Obviously a house designed for guests in a writer's cabin for a working retreat is closed now due to the Corona virus Covid-19. So until it is possible, if ever, to renew our coming together to talk about writing and write for a day or a weekend, we will have to be patient almost beyond endurance.

NEVERTHELESS, we must not, cannot cease from writing, working on our passion for putting words on paper in a meaningful, effective way.

So, I have prepared some packets for you at a very low price to keep you tuned into Scribeaway.org.

This little visitor came to see what we are doing now....No worries with Daisy the Bear Dog on duty.
(photographed by Jeanine Just -neighbor.)

Finish your script, novel (historical, romance, mystery), poetry chapbook, poetry collection, children's and adult literature, sci-fi, fantasy, horror, stage play, travelogue, interview, essay, and all with the coaching of an award-winning author, poet and playwright and very special guests.

Our goal is to get you to publication and solid intellectual property (copyright) for your legacy. From start to finish, work toward your goal.
