Sorry to have left without leaving a message for you all, but I went on a writers retreat in Buena Park, California with Sylvia Day! Three days locked in a hotel room with another writer. It was sorta strange. We didn’t get as much actual writing done as we thought we would. In fact, there were certain points of time when it seemed that the universe just did NOT want us to write.
Despite the family emergencies, an email crash, upset stomachs, headches and one laptop going up in flames, ( ok, there were no actual Flames,,,,but there was lots of stinky smoke coming from it just before it died.) , I feel alot was still acomplished.
I’ve never had the chance to sit and chat with another writer, to brainstorm freely (while the alcohol also flowed freely ) and to bitch, complain, commiserate , and plan our writing paths.
I’m still pages behind on my WORD Challenge goal, but I’m also in a much better state of mind to push forward with the plans set out for some more short stories and novels.
All in all a successful retreat, that has not ended, only changed locations from a hotel, to Sylvia’s house.
Pistures will be posted when I get home so keep an eye out!!
