The
Red River Valley Writing Project is pleased to announce that we are
sponsoring a Winter Writing Retreat February 26-28, 2016, at Maplelag
Resort near Calloway, Minnesota (north of Detroit Lakes off Hwy. 59). Kelly was there on New Year's Day, and everything looked very good in the resort and out on the trails.

The craft
component that we will feature at this year's Winter Writing Retreat is
dialog. Participants will have a chance to generate
new writing as well as work on drafts of previously written pieces. Our writing time at Maplelag will feature writing to
prompts, draft expansion activities, response from writing groups, revision time,
whole-group sharing, and individual editing/coaching. Angela Hase, Moorhead High School English teacher, will be our
Writing Retreat leader, with support from previous leader Pam Fisher. We are also working to offer the Writing Retreat for one credit of continuing education credits.
