You go someplace off season.<br /> <br />For the rest, you gotta talk to Beth Shope. She's the organizational genius. <br /><br />I don't know why it worked out this way, but everybody at this one was just mad for working.

How to ensure that people actually work and don't simply waste time gossiping? Any suggestions for good retreat spots?

(Even though I didn't read The Other Book) I think the best strategy is to write another amazing story, so that when DABWAHA comes along again next year, you can get kind of a Susan Lucci sympathy vote in addition to all the regular ones.
