FALL WORD LOVER'S RETREAT

If you are looking for a writing workshop in the near future, I give you this from prolific Cleveland writer John Ettore:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"In the Craftmanship Tradition of William Zinsser’s On Writing Well and
the Spirit of Julia Cameron’s Artist’s Way
Join John Ettorre and Claudia Taller at
IDLEWYLD BED & BREAKFAST IN HISTORIC LAKESIDE, OHIO
Friday, October 3, 2008, through Sunday, October 5, 2008

In the more than 30 years since its publication, William Zinsser's On Writing Well has come to be a philosophical and spiritual touchstone for writers everywhere. Its core message--about simplicity, authenticity and the importance of developing craft in one's writing—has been absorbed by two generations of appreciative writers. Along with The Artist's Way, it will serve as the intellectual backbone for our retreat.

The environment for our weekend will only be enhanced by the location. Lakeside, Ohio, along the shores of Lake Erie, is the closest thing you'll find to Maine in the Midwest. The town's well-preserved 19th century feel evokes a quieter, more gracious era. Lakeside's motto—'nurturing mind, body and spirit'—is a perfect description for the focus of our retreat-by-the-sea. And Idlewyld Bed & Breakfast, where we'll be staying, is a uniquely charming century-old structure, though updated with all the modern comforts. But the most comfortable touch of all is the personal warmth that our hosts, proprietors Dan & Joan, provide."
