Fall Writing Retreat

This fall’s one-day faculty writing retreat will be held on Tuesday, December 15 (8:30am-4pm), just steps from the Denton campus* — at TWU’s Cottage Street House.

Whether you’re drafting, revising, planning, or simply trying to make space for thinking-on-the-page, this will be a day designed to support the kind of writing that’s hard to fit into the regular rhythm of the semester.

My goal with this retreat is simple:  to create the conditions for sustained, meaningful writing time in a setting that feels both focused and restorative. No pressure, no productivity theater—just time, space, and intention.

The retreat will offer a balance of structure and flexibility, with generous blocks of quiet writing time, light framing to help you get started or unstuck, and the opportunity to write alongside colleagues who also value protected time for scholarly and creative work.

The Cottage Street House offers a place to step away from everyday routines, settle in, and reconnect with your writing.   As the semester winds down, I hope this day will provide some breathing room to return to a project that’s been waiting for attention.
