#548. A Writers' Paradise
Many writers are encouraged to go on Writer Conferences, but if you have been working on a manuscript for a good period of time -- there is not better move than to go on a Mini-Writer Retreat! Chelsea's home is perfect for this endeavor. If you don't like to go on a solo retreat ( I don't as it ensures I will procrastinate!) take a fellow writer which is what I did. Even if you take one family member, there is plenty of rooms to work from -- including a room with a sun-splashed setee to read your re-worked chapters! The house also has the most wonderful dining room table which I quickly converted to a work table. If your aim is to sit down and work as long as you can, this is the place for you. I did go to the beach (Less than two blocks down) for the sunrise, but returned promptly to the house. Superclean kitchen with a gourment stove if you want to take a cooking break. However, The TWISTED TREE Cafe is ten minutes away in Asbury Park and has the most amazing vegan food you will ever taste. Finally, Chelsea was available for questions and very accomodating. If you have a huge family, the bedrooms are ample -- with one sporting a bunk-bed set. We had a great time, and will definitely return!
