Pen Stroke : A Novel Journey

A humorous look at writers writing a 50,000-word novel in 30 days... In late October, hundreds of novelists and wannabe writers gather on the island of Maui for the annual Pen Stroke writer's retreat. Many arrive looking forward to the writerly activities that are planned, thinking it will be a lovely vacation in paradise; others are simply looking for a place to stay while they search for a retirement condo, but nooo... they've all been summoned by their muse to a crazy novel-writing journey, writing a 50,000-word novel in November. They've never been to a place quite like Pen Stroke and are in for a few surprises when the writing gods and wordie gurus begin showing up, along with plot doctors to fix the stories that suck, and a cardiac character specialist to revive characters who've up and died all over a writer's pages.
