The magic of Rainforest Writer's Retreat

Run by the inimitable Patrick Swenson, Rainforest Writers Retreat was an extraordiary experience of concentrated writing punctuated by sweet writer meetups and long beautiful walks in the spectacular Olympic Rainforest. I started a collection of mushroom stump photos! Got up early to watch the sun rise over the lake. Had a couple of major novel epiphanies that crystallized my perspective and how I'd communicate it. Slept like a champ. I can't wait to go back.
