Getting Back on Track with a Retreat

It’s been much too long since I’ve posted on my blog or the newsletter, but I’m going to play catch-up today. No excuses, just life getting in the way.
I organized a small writer’s retreat at my cousin’s lake house in May. It was a wonderfully relaxing and productive time. The six of us did writing prompts first thing every morning. It’s one of those amazing things to see when six different authors come up with six different scenes for the prompt.

We enjoyed drinking coffee, having conversation, and working on the deck while we watched the goose families going about their daily routine.

Sunsets were breathtaking. I don’t think any of us saw a sunrise.
We visited a third-grade class I volunteer at and talked to the kids about writing.
We were on Lake Texoma, Oklahoma. The history of the lake is fascinating.
Remember this—sometimes all we need to get back on track is to get away from the routine things of life.
Until next time, Journey Onward,
