Monday Musings w/ Jade Lee
Monday Musing Tennessee:
I leave for a writer’s retreat on Wednesday. It’s a week at a Tennessee cabin with fellow writers Cindy Dees and Elizabeth Hoyt. I’m sure those on FB will see all sorts of interesting squidge pictures there. So here are a few interesting musing in (what is to become) my standard format.
1. We found this cabin
a) while hiking. Elizabeth Hoyt broke her ankle and Cindy and I carried her to the door and met a god of a lumberjack who nursed her back to health.
b) by googling “random cabin somewhere to hide and write.” Also known as drink and talk about fantasy men
c) cabin choices are always filtered by superimposing Starbucks locations in a 2 mile radius. No retreat is possible without mochas.
d) at the Brenda Novak auction
Answer: D In truth, the idea of retreat in Tennessee sounded so good, we just bid without looking too closely at it. We’re not exactly sure how rustic it will be. Fortunately, there is a Starbucks nearby, so at least we’ll have coffee. Also…(A) did happen, but only in Elizabeth’s …um… nighttime musings… (And OBVIOUSLY, the god of a lumberjack was Mr. Hoyt. And she reminds me now that her leg wasn’t broken, she’d just twisted her ankle. But she did wilt into his arms from the pain before he dropped her. Fortunately, she ripped off his shirt as she fell.)
2. In case it’s too rustic…
a) Elizabeth knows how to start a fire with only 1 match. Truck question: will any of us remember to bring matches?
b) Cindy has had Air Force survival training. She can defend us from marauders while catching fish and forcing us to eat the eyes balls for the salt.
c) Jade has no wilderness skills whatsoever. But she does have the car keys, so that makes her vital in the search for caffeine.
d) all of the above.
Answer: Duh. D. And yes, I’m completely useless.
3. Our favorite writing food is:
Elizabeth Hoyt: peanut butter M&Ms or liver and onions?
Answer: M&Ms
Cindy Dees: Cheez-its or York Peppermint Patties
Answer: Cheez-its (which, apparently are better than crack)
Jade Lee: Dark chocolate Peanut M&Ms or cereal
Answer: It’s ALWAYS the M&Ms. Just because I have survived for weeks on cereal alone doesn’t mean I won’t eat every M&M in sight first.
