  • Where I Was

    So as I mentioned, I was in Estes Park last weekend on a mini writing retreat. I decided I needed to get away from all of the distractions at home (yes, even blogging) and set about the task of finishing my second book. But after booking a cabin near Rocky Mountain National Park, I suddenly worried that it might not be any fun going alone. So I asked Jess B if she wanted to join me.

    She said yes, and the rest is history! We tooled on up to Estes Park (I made her listen to the Dr. Horrible soundtrack no less than 3 times) and arrived at our cabin. It was beautiful. It was inspiring. It was FREEZING! Here’s the story of our stay in pictures. (And because I know you’re going to ask as there are no pictures of us writing, I did get 14,000 words written in 3 days, and finished my rough draft of the next book just 2 days after we returned. Jess finised her work in progress, and now we’re both in the rewrites stage. Ugh!)

    Oh, and we had one mega Spider Solitare tournament. I lost. Badly!

    Ah, yes. They're in my parking spot.
