"Creative writers hone their craft during retreat"

"For four days each spring, groups of creative individuals put their busy schedules on hold to devote their time to working on what they enjoy most ??? writing. Poets, novelists, fiction and nonfiction writers from across the region gathered at Oakland University May 20-23 to attend the fourth consecutive Far Field Retreat for Writers. After spending time writing and helping other like-minded writers in highly interactive workshops, many of this year's participants left with more confidence and new ideas for their craft."
