I'm getting excited! <br /><br />How nice it will be if you get your own room. That will make your experience perfect! Where is this writer's retreat? I might like to get in on it next year, unless it's closed to only indie-published authors. That would still leave me out, as of now, anyway.

Don't forget your candy bowl to lure readers to your table! :)Julie Coulter Bellonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07695605817809301518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421706587311875668.post-61776450523839099542014-09-25T20:46:39.112-06:002014-09-25T20:46:39.112-06:00This is something you might not have thought about...This is something you might not have thought about for your writer's retreat; sleeping in a room with other women--and not in your own bed. In June I went to the mountains in Arizona for a two and a half day retreat, which was great, but there were drawbacks, one being sleeping on a cot in a room with four other women, who didn't go to sleep at the same time (latest was 2am). I didn't have earplugs nor a way to keep the light out of my eyes, so I got no sleep at night. On the bright side, I did get some writing done, and you probably will too. <br /><br />The something new? Today, I signed up for the Downtown Chandler's Authors Walk that's coming up in November. It's coinciding with their Art Walk, but this year they're including authors, too. It's scary for me to get out there and do a book sale/signing. I've never done one before. I won't be alone. Two or three other authors from Xchyler Pub will be there too, if we can coordinate things before then. Im excited and frightened. <br /><br />A random thought… toenails don't paint themselves.
