Well, hello!
I’ve just had the most fantabulous weekend. It totally makes up for the weekend of suck I had last week. I spent Friday – Sunday participating in the Central Pennsylvania Romance Writers annual retreat.
I wrote almost 10,000 words — (and seriously, I should’ve done that last 700 but my brain was broke) or about 42 pages. This is a personal best for me, since I usually have just finished a project by the retreat and I fart around, lazily, and just take naps and stuff. But not this time. No. I didn’t get there until later than I’d planned on Friday, and then it was lunch, and then we watched the season finale of Supernatural, and then it was almost time for dinner…but I did write a few pages on my Neo. Then we had dinner and went to Applebee’s, after, for the annual celebration of whatever needs celebrating, and THEN we went to see STAR TREK! (for me again, for others, first time.)
*happy sigh*
Last year, the retreat’s boyfriend was Jensen Ackles, but this year it turned out to be @ZacharyQuinto. You have to refer to him that way — with the “at” in front of his name — because that’s who it is on Twitter. (I’m pretty sure @Zach isn’t the one updating his Twitter, but that’s okay.) @ZacharyQuinto as Spock gives my little geek heart glee, and I have SUCH GOOD FRIENDS they made sure I got my share of it this weekend.
Natalie even said “that would be highly illogical” when we were in bed with the lights out, and I laughed so hard my stomach hurt. Because she’s such a good friend, she knew that pretending to be @ZacharyQuinto as Spock would make me giggle.
But back to the writing. I figured out a lot about the story, I got a lot done, it’s going well, and I’m going to try and keep up the pace this week. Not 30 pages a day, that’s not possible what with family to deal with and not being able to just have someone serve me dinner and write until whenever and not shower and not move from the desk/bed wherever while I type and type and type…but that’s the beauty of the retreat.
Anyway, I came home and my brain was sort of broken and I went to bed last night at about 6:30 pm and now I’m getting ready to write, write write some more. Hope to make 20 pages today.
I’ll have to stay off Twitter. (@ZacharyQuinto, don’t miss me too much, okay?)
I had the best retreat, EVAR and would like another very soon!

Good luck with the staying off Twitter thing. I can’t do it.
