Want to see what I look like without makeup, unshowered, and in my pajamas? Of course, you don’t. Too bad. I think goals are very important in life. My goal on Saturday was to shower by 5 PM. And you know what? I made it.
Donna Fleisher brought a mix of unpublished and published authors at the beach this past weekend. We arrived–with WAY too much food– Friday afternoon and didn’t depart until late Sunday morning.
From the left: Kristin Johnson, Mom, me, Donna, Judy Gann, and Miriam Cheney. Hmmm, four of us are in the Redeemed Writers’ Critique Group. Coincidence? I think not.
We had a fabulous time full of plotting, critiquing, advising, mentoring, eating, hot tubbing, beach gazing, etc …
Speaking of the beach, we stayed at the Sandcastle Beachfront Motel.
When we first walked in, it felt as if we’d boarded a boat because the only thing visible through the picture window was the ocean. The name really means it with this motel!
Donna is the only person I know who has a category solely concerning me on her blog. About my knees, no less.
BTW, I need to send a BIG thank you to Timothy Fish for sending me the link to the official banana string name: phloem bundles. Not knowing was driving me bananas!
Glad I could help.
Glad most of the Redeemed Writers made it! Baby Joshy and I were praying for you! Glad you had a great time. Hope you waved to the ocean for me!
Love, Debbie M.
My goal today was to get up before 11:00. I made it. With about a minute to spare. I love setting goals. ; )
THANKS FOR AN ABSOLUTELY FABUUU WEEKEND!! Next time we won’t bring so much food.
What a special weekend–meeting new friends, going deeper with “old” friends, and sharing the ups and downs of writing. Writing can be a lonely task. We all need times of connecting with other writers.
Ladies, thank you for allowing this nonfiction writer to crash your fiction party, your fellowship, good food (too much of it), and critiques! Donna, special thanks organizing this fabulous weekend!!
Judy
You guys are making me jealous!
Seriously, glad you had a blessed time.
Well now, aren’t you blessed to spend a weekend with other writers…on the beach!!
Hope your knee is coming along…as well as your manuscript(s).
You got to write on the OREGON COAST? Hurt me, okay? 🙂 Looks fab!
