Lake Texoma / Kingston, OK
This year's writers retreat was another fun time with my favorite writer peeps and a success for everyone.
We spent two full days and two partial days at a lovely VRBO rental, enjoying one another's company and writing, writing, writing.
I wrote just over three thousand words -- a count that would normally take me a good week, give or take. Needless to say, I was very pleased with the increase. My books usually finish in the 40K to 45K range. The longest book I've written, not counting the historical, was almost 48K, and I'm hoping this book will be closer to that.
And for the first time in several years, I had a bed and a room to myself, which was a treat. The room had a lovely, broken-in recliner that was super comfortable and didn't cause any issues in the hips.
As soon as I got home and sat on my couch, I realized that my trip to NFM for a chair suited to my size and comfort needs is now a priority. I almost offered the host money for that chair, but decided a new chair was probably a better expenditure.

Sadly, two of our regulars couldn't make it. Normally, there are six of us. And even more disappointing, one of those ladies is moving out of state, so we're going to have to replace her next year. We'll cross that bridge later though.
For now--stay cool and hydrated.
Catch you in a couple of weeks.
