Can you believe that beautiful coastline? Our writers retreat on the Oregon coast happened last month and it went beyond expectations. Seven of us along with my hubby the cook rented a gorgeous oceanfront house for three nights. We settled right in and basically hung out, talked, ate, drank, and even wrote. Here’s some of us doing what we did all weekend.
I’m so glad we did this — it helped me get back to my WIP and it was so much fun being with other authors and hearing what’s happening with them.
Last weekend I “advanced” into the world to share my writing–I drove up to Puyallup, Washington to read for the Pierce College Gay-Straight Alliance open mic. Here’s the cool poster they had hanging in the student activity building:
Several students shared poetry and music which was so inspiring.
Ebo Barton performed some amazing poetry and come to find out they work at Gay City in Seattle, which is the place we did readings during last year’s Read With Pride Northwest conference. I hope to connect with them for future events at Gay City. Here I am with Ebo after the event:
Have a good month and I’ll talk to you in April!
