I wish I could write in small chunks. I ...Hi Karyn,<br />I wish I could write in small chunks. I envy people who can turn on that creative stream in a limited amount of time. It takes me a while just to get get in the writing groove. My best advice is that no matter whether you write in big chunks or small chunks, try to write something everyday. You want to keep that writing muscle in shape.<br /><br />I hope you can make it to the writing retreat this year. Barring anything unforeseen, I plan on attending. I'm hoping to extend my retreat by a day or two if that's possible. I hope to see you there!<br /><br />JanaJana Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624650840243322617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4209934041722758958.post-59348370398463323252011-04-04T13:20:48.386-05:002011-04-04T13:20:48.386-05:00Hi Janet,

I got in about 15,000 words out of a hoped for 50,000. But it's a start. With any luck, and some nose to the grindstone, I'll finish this story by the summer.<br /><br />The retreats in Muenster are the best. We have the privacy and the time to write, but we still get to visit with our friends over meals and during our evening get together. It's the best!<br /><br />JanaJana Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624650840243322617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4209934041722758958.post-50828904239974294992011-04-01T15:37:01.328-05:002011-04-01T15:37:01.328-05:00I'm glad you're off and running :D

But I'd love to try a writing retreat and see how that works - hopefully this spring! I love BIAW but part of the appeal is the community which keeps me focused. <br /><br />Happy writing!Karyn Goodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12586701849461714531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4209934041722758958.post-53195336634222542832011-03-31T05:34:20.399-05:002011-03-31T05:34:20.399-05:00When Muse is cooperating, I love to write all day....When Muse is cooperating, I love to write all day. The retreats the SRW holds in the spring were perfect for writing marathons. I miss those retreats.<br /><br />Sounds like you've found your stride heading into the latter part of your marathon. Good luck with it, Jana - can't wait to hear more about "Always a Bridesmaid" :)Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13297537075103893956noreply@blogger.com
