Sometimes you just gotta get away...

The Pocono/Lehigh Romance Writers I mentioned in an earlier post offered a writing retreat in a rental house in the mountains to its members - seven of us are going. Next weekend I'll be with fellow writers, critiquing, brainstorming, wining (whining), dining, walking in the woods and writing.

I'm even thinking about going back to Camp Taylor where I spent two days reading and revising the hard copy of Elizabeth Peacock and the Body on Abbey Road. I rented a parked RV one October. The RV sets by the pond along the path that winds its way up to the Lakota Wolf Preserve (www.lakotawolf.com). My time there was wonderful - quiet (except for the wind at night blowing tree limbs against the RV) and filled with writing, reading and wolf howls. For me: Heaven.

Sometimes you just gotta get away from all the things that take you away from writing and be with people who understand.

And sometimes you just gotta get away - period.
