Writer Retreat & Events

Last week, I rode with sister-Minnesota writer Erica Vetsch to Southwestern Missouri at the invitation of author-friend Michelle Griep. Together the three of us brainstormed, wrote, commiserated, and caught up on each other’s lives.

And ate. A lot.

Michelle is an amazing hostess who spoiled us rotten. That 9-hour drive was definitely worth it!

We also did two speaking events while we were there. We first spoke at a meeting of American Christian Fiction Writers Missouri-Ozarks chapter (Thank you, Erin Mifflin!), and later participated in a Literary Festival at a public library.

Our talks went well, and I enjoyed chatting with writers and readers, as well as spending time with likeminded friends. Here are just a few of the folks we talked to: Melissa and Amber.

Have you spent time with friends lately, too? Please let us know in the comments and thank you for stopping by!
