Phillip Island Writers Retreat - November 2019

12/11/2019

This retreat we ended up with a group of seven. The group consisted of two previous attendees, four new people and me. We had a variety of projects as goals between us - from poems to novels to non-fiction - and came from very different employment backgrounds; all writers at various stages of their careers. But none of that mattered and there were no visible boundaries as we all sat down to work.
Friday night we ventured into town (800 m away)​ and spent a few hours at the Phillip Island Hotel. It seemed everyone who had been staying out of the cold had all turned up at the pub! The meal was fabulous, and so were the cocktails - or so I was told...

​It didn't take long for everyone to wind down and relax, and by the end of our fabulous meal, we all knew each other a little bit better.
​And by the time we'd walked back to the hotel ...

... we all needed a change of clothes.

The rest of the time was spent at base, working away. We had lunches supplied by Phillip Island Bakery - which were delicious - and were treated to bacon and egg breakfasts and a home cooked meal by the Tropicana motel. 
It was bitterly cold, but perfect weather to stay indoors and write up a storm. 
On the Saturday night after dinner, we even had a chance to sit around next to an open fire and talk books. 
Does life get any better for a writer?

It was a great group, great conversations and even better, we all managed to get some great words on the page. 
​Thanks everyone for a super weekend.
