LET THE PARTY BEGIN...

So it's registration day for the Hawaii Writers Retreat and I immediately started trying to be teacher's pet by buying a few rounds...Jackie Mitchard is great fun to work with.

And after 2 pina coladas I was feeling no pain...Ann Hood has a full class as well. It's so hard to decide who to work with...

how do you choose anyway?
Some times it depends on your story. Sometimes it depends on a writing tic you want to get rid of.
Other times? Well THIS from TOOLOOSE:

"STOREZ THAT HAZ ALIEN SPAZ MONKEEZ R THE NEXT BIG THING.
I WAN MY TEACHUR TO UNDERSTAN
MY GENIUZ.
AND GET ME AN AGENT. NOW. PLEEZ."

So how about you?
What do you want from a Hawaii writers retreat besides finding that perfect Mai Tai?
