Writing retreat, Santa Fe. Slept in a little — was tired. Woke up, had breakfast, wrote a post about how to do writing retreats like this, then got a message from George asking if I wanted to stop by and have coffee, so of course I said yes. Nice taking half an hour to talk; […]

Writing retreat, Santa Fe. We took a little break from writing this morning to meet up with some local SF/F writers for breakfast at Cafecito Santa Fe. I had a delicious little corn & cheese empanada with green chili sauce and chimichurri — so good. We talked for close to three solid hours about writing

Santa Fe Writing Retreat. A friend asked me this morning about how one sets up such a retreat. It was good timing, because I spent a lot of time last night at dinner talking with my friends about wealth and privilege. It’s a privilege, to be able to take away time from one’s life and

I wrote about 4000 words yesterday and today, bringing the total to about 7200, which is longer than I’d planned, but it turned out there was a lot to pack in, and I’m not sure it doesn’t need to be a little longer. I’m going to let it sit for a little while, look at

Watched an episode of the new season of Queer Eye, took a little nap, then wrote another 700 words. One more big scene to write, I think, then I’d like to do a revision pass filling in the bits I’d only sketched out before. Getting there. Time for another little break, rest my fingers. Me

Slow start this morning at the retreat after last night’s late dinner party (finished partying at 1, couldn’t sleep after until close to 4, frustrating), but finally writing did get going. Finished a scene, 985 words. Like a door opening to a quiet place in my mind, little whispers of thought that get drowned out
Well, writing retreat is off to a bit of a rocky start — I think I managed to leave all my meds at home, argh. I had them all packed and out on the kitchen table, but I think I left the case there. Now I have to figure out if I can get Kev
