Anyway, I've been curious about it ever since and finally have working internet at home... sooo cool! I wish I had more writer friends my age. My teenagers are a huge help and my editor is amazing, too... but it would be fun to share the passion with other writers in the same phase.Krissi Dallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11577952633318939577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-551608342749773751.post-67922618988819458732010-04-08T11:47:31.779-07:002010-04-08T11:47:31.779-07:00Hi Lola, thanks for kind words and your follow!

We tried to keep on a schedule of reading aloud to each other, critiquing, then revising and repeat each day though. It turned out pretty amazing.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05130733681254163610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-551608342749773751.post-51547995703132553382010-04-08T11:41:06.979-07:002010-04-08T11:41:06.979-07:00It was pretty amazing wasn't it Linda?

But we still manage to get together at conferences or retreats, either of our own making or organized ones. I do wish they lived closer, then we could get together more often.

My fave place is actually really close-three hours away- so I may just have to look into doing my own retreat!Lindsey Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398211816930946648noreply@blogger.com
