Returned home this afternoon from my first writer’s retreat–it certainly won’t be my last. What a great experience!! Did I churn out a record number of pages this week-end? No. What I did accomplish was far more valuable. I worked through two book ideas, with some impromptu brainstorming with my room-mate, which had been going painfully slow for me. Perhaps even more important, I spent some important time really getting to know my fellow sister writers. I knew all of the other writers there from our GRW meetings. But, this week-end, I really got to know these women. Although we all write romance, our books are vastly different and we’re all at different stages in our careers, but I feel sure we all went away having learned something new about the business of writing and each other.
