Life at Quickwater

So, I think everyone already knows but, I got accepted to the Writer's Retreat. What that means, in a nutshell, is I got to stay in a beautiful cabin for four days and write my little heart out. Can I just say, best weekend ever?! Well, I did.

I've never really shown anyone my "work" before. My mom is the one who has been my sounding board through the years (poor thing), but this was a good experience for that. I got feedback, about my work, from a professor and I'm starting to feel a little bit more confident. I feel like, after this experience, I can finally graduate from sappy, high school blather to less sappy, college almost-there.

It was one of the most exciting experiences of my life, creatively. And maybe one day, I'll actually do this thing for real.

  2. Hey Lyndee! I just saw your post about the pillows on rockstar diaries. And I thought, "Gee, I haven't seen or heard from Lyndee in forever!" So, how are you? So jealous of your retreat. I would love that. I've had several book ideas on the back burner for a while, 3years!, and just started exploring those again. It's been fun! I hope you are well. Drop me a line sometime on FB or Blogger I would LOVE to hear from you! :)
