HOW TO WRITE A NOVEL
Answer: Write
Ever wondered what makes a writer? Well, writers write. It’s as simple as that.
Do you:
- have a story in your head, but never seem to have time to work on it?
- always find that life gets in the way of you writing?
- feel guilty if you sit down to write knowing the dishes need doing or the dog needs walking?
This writing retreat offers you the chance to buy a whole day out of life to simply sit down and write. No distractions, no interruptions.
Based in central Taunton, in Somerset, this is a one-day writing retreat hosted by local writing group, Writers Anon. We all know how hard it is to just get your bum in a seat and fingers on the keyboard (or pen) and that’s why we’re organising this retreat. This day will give you the time and space to write and meet other budding writers. And it’s designed to be fun. No furrowed brows and tortured artists here (unless you’re really into that, then go for it).

So what’s it all about?
Once you’ve booked your place at the retreat, simply turn up with pen and paper or laptop in hand. We have a short introduction and then it’s time to find yourself a spot and sit down and write. And that’s it. But with no household chores calling your name, no phone calls or the lure of TV and games, you’ll be surprised how much you can achieve.
You will receive a planning sheet, emailed to you in advance, to help you set your goals and ensure you get the most out of this one-day retreat. We will also provide some reference books, character sheets and writing prompts on the day, if you need some inspiration to get you going.
That book, play, article or short story won’t write itself, so get yourself to the Taunton Writing Retreat.
The Venue
The Drawing Room is a 200 year old pub, set in the historic heart of Taunton, across from the beautiful Castle Hotel and the recently restored Taunton Castle Museum. Our retreat is in the light and airy function room, offering tea and coffee-making facilities and a view over the Castle Green. With no main road nearby, we won’t be disturbed by the noise of traffic, This is an ideal location to getaway from it all for a few hours, but with the convenience of easy transport connections for when you want to get back to reality.Luckily for us, The Drawing Room is managed by experienced caterers. The price of your writing day includes a delicious homemade buffet lunch, plus refreshments and biccies to keep us going throughout the day. And with good ales and wine available just downstairs, we think it’s a really good idea to take a moment to celebrate at the end of a hard day’s writing.
For just £20 you get time, peace and quiet, space to write, inspiration from other writers and good food. What are you waiting for?
