Finca Writing in March and June 2024
Two writing groups came to the Finca in 2024, and we explored a range of subjects including life-writing and emotion – in fiction and non-fiction, internal balance and structure in fiction, writing a synopsis and a pitch, and collaborating in small groups to plot and write a short story. We also had a book-club session.
The writers also continued with their own works in progress and/or hopefully were inspired by some of our morning writing exercises into some pieces of new writing.
I like to stress that this is a writing holiday with plenty of me-time in a gorgeous setting (see https://hotelfinca.com/) and how participants choose to spend that time is completely down to them. Some people spent a lot of time writing, others went out walking (in March) and others caught up with some much-needed R&R around the pool (in June).
As always, the food and ambience were superb and everyone seemed to have a good and productive time.
There are two writing holidays booked in for March and June 2025. The March one is full at the moment, but I will be opening the June writing holiday up for bookings in August. E-mail me for details if you are interested…
