For about five years now I have been involved in organising the annual "write away" for members of the UKAuthors.com website and anybody else who wants to come...

The annual UKAway holiday represents a chance for writers at all levels of experience and accomplishment to take time off, go where life is easy and the surroundings pleasant, and WRITE, in the company of others similarly afflicted with the writing compulsion.
        As well as writing we have workshops in which we try to offer feedback and help one another, and often meetings with local writers' groups or workshops of one kind or another. Most importantly though, we have peace and quiet to get on with what we are doing, and the support and help of like-minded people when and if it is required.
        We also organise trips and events, go out for meals, either individually, together or in twos or threes. It's a peer group without leaders and we are free to use our time in any way that we wish, doing as much or as little collectively as we want to.
        Usually, in fact every time so far, we have produced a chapbook of what we have worked on during the holiday, as well as photographs, jokes and limericks, and made it available through Gold Dust and Lulu.com as a souvenir of the event, and an enticement for others who read it to join in the fun the next time.
        For details of any forthcoming UKAway holidays see the forums at UKAuthors .com.
