Whew! Home Safe and Sound

I'm back from my writer's retreat at the coast, and I had a great time! Lots of food, lots of great conversation, lots of laughs. It's so fun to be in the presence of other writers who just "get it".

Highlights of the weekend included:

1. The 80 mph winds and massive storm Friday night. OMG...thought we would BLOW away. Definitely not relaxing when you're afraid the beach house is going to get whisked out into the raging Pacific.

2. Writing twenty pages and editing ten more on Saturday. Wow! That felt good. I really needed that jumpstart.

3. Listening to everyone else plot and brainstorm their books. Wonderful ideas brewing out there.

4. Dancing with Lenny Apple at the karaoke bar. Let me tell you, that man has moves AND great taste. He proved yet again that blondes have more fun. ;) He also proved my hubby wrong when he said I follow REALLY well (See that, honey? I don't always try to lead!)

5. And, oh yeah, who could forget the sexy sheriff's deputy who pulled us over on the way home and could barely keep from laughing at Piper's attempts to get out of her speeding ticket? The really hilarious part was it worked!

Definitely a weekend to remember. Can't wait to do it all again!
