Writing Retreat

Folks, I'm in Washington state right now at a writing retreat sponsored by National Writing Project. Here's the good news: because I attended this writing retreat, our site is eligible to apply for a minigrant to sponsor our own professional writing retreat. I say "professional writing retreat" because one goal is for us to join the professional conversation about the teaching of writing and about teaching in general. One way to do that is to revise your teaching demonstrations into an article for _Voice_ or _The Quarterly of the National Writing Project_ or for some other journal. Be thinking about what issue you want to explore in writing, and I'll be in touch about our own writing retreat. Also, is anyone interested in helping me write the minigrant? Let me know.
