Write in the company of other writers. Find yourself inspired and motivated by your writing + creativity coach as the train crosses Northern California and the Sierras to bring you to a hotel resort in Reno, Nevada.

Spend a full weekend immersed in focus and flow as this retreat’s built-in motivation and accountability move you through scenes and storylines, character arcs and plot developments.

Participate in friendly discussions around the dinner table about the act of writing, what you’re writing, what everyone else is writing, and what it’s like to make space in busy lives for writing.

Share excerpts of your work for positive feedback and sharpen your own storytelling skills by listening carefully for what other writers are doing well in their own writings at aProof of Write – Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights.

Explore the hotel resort and sample its restaurants, spa, gift shops, and other amenities in your down time between writing sessions. Or return to your room for a little rest and relaxation – drink water, and nap.

Write again and more on board the train on Monday as it takes you back over the mountains and across the state to home, where you are invited to stay connected with each other in the Bay Area’s To Live & Write community.
