What’s the Absorbing Writing Baxter?
Posted on 01. Apr, 2009 by Joanna in Sardinia
If you make something remarkable, that’s because there’s something to talk about. ~ Seth Godin
It’s what Godin calls ‘the baxter’.
That extra sharp point on the top of your new rock climbing shoe? It’s a baxter. That service you get at the spa after your massage is over? Oh, you mean the baxter!
Reading his piece got me thinking about what the Absorbing Writing baxter is.
Of course we’re not creating a thing, we’re creating an experience. A writing experience, for you.
Getting the place right is a huge part of it, and that’s why we knew Ca’ La Somara was the perfect venue.
But I think the thing that really sets us apart is our personal approach.
This is not a big business, running retreats and holidays throughout the year, with more customers than you could remember the names of. We’re creating this experience twice a year, with groups of no more than 10 people at a time.
Our commitment is to making this experience work for you. We think it’s good business… it’s also just the way we are.
It means we make and take the time to:
- Talk to you about what the retreat is about, and how it might fit with your dreams and ambitions
- Find out what your writing goals are, so we can make sure the retreat works for you
- Help you making travel arrangements
- Get to know you in advance, so once you’re here you’ll feel at home
It’s not an extra sharp point on the top of a climbing shoe… but for me, still something remark able.
If you’re interested in coming to the writing retreat in May but are still wondering about a few questions, or still feeling a little shy… why not drop us a line and test the baxter?

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
