It was back to the Lodge o' Death for a writing retreat earlier this month. Sure, we all turn up with thoughts on what we're going to work on, but part of being an author is being flexible. Like getting last minute revision notes and working on that instead of the planned activity. Still, when it comes to writing, there is no where else I'd rather be than off in the woods with some my favorite writing gals, pouring out the words.

Highlights from the retreat include...
The right people make the retreat what it is!
Food is a completely important part of any retreat!
The Lodge o' Death isn't called The Lodge o' Death for nothing. Sorry, baby deer.
Other fun activities include chatting, reading, walking, yoga, and Zumba!
Thanks, Lodge o' Death, for another great retreat!

These were the creepiest cows in the world!
And this sink gives me nightmares. I worry it will come alive.
