Retreating to Write
It's been 3 months since I had my last "author fix" at Magna Cum Murder.
Writers (especially me) need to hear from other writers, be with other writers, talk to other writers. Honestly, our loved ones don't get it, no matter how supportive they are.
However, I live in a remote area of northern Michigan, where one doesn't just pick up the phone and find others of her species. We have to plan times when we can meet, and that isn't easy. Snow, ice, and wind make travel iffy from November to March in these parts, so we took a stab and hoped, picking the time we'd probably all be suffering from cabin fever, and planned a writers' retreat.
It looks like the stars are going to align and allow us our three days of communing. By Monday I'll be ready to take on the publishing world again, even if no one else notices!
