Take a Cyber Writing Retreat

If you write, you know the value of a writer's retreat. But when do those magical forces--time and money--ever converge to allow us to go? And, while most of us would agree that the Web is a time-saving, information-gathering tool, not many could vouch for the Web's ability to substitute for a much-needed retreat. This reviewer believes she can. Prairieden.com, "one woman's writing retreat," is a well-designed, easy-to-navigate site that is just that--a writer's retreat on-line. Visitors can sit on the "front porch" and meet writing professionals, read articles about the frontiers of writing, especially for women, and subscribe to a tips-focused newsletter. Other "retreat" activities include interacting with other writers, shopping for books, and keeping abreast of the latest news in books and entertainment by way of feeds from top literary sites. Relax, rejuvenate, and click on!
