The Retreat

It was fun and exhausting - even though I napped.
It was fun because I was around other writers and got input for my work. We critiqued pages and then brainstormed everyone's writing/plotting problems.
It was exhausting because I wrote and wrote - 5 pages on the WIP (work in progress) and half of the WIP's synopsis. I also developed an idea for another book - and because I didn't have any "down time" - immediately going from work
Now I need the "alone" retreat. I need to find the time to be out in the woods - alone - to think - to relax - to write.
