The first TWRP Writers' retreat is only about a month away. I can't begin to tell you how excited I am. Not only is it a great opportunity to spend time with other writers and brainstorm and talk "shop" and learn all kinds of new things but I will be spending another birthday in my beloved Texas. I figured out the other day that I've managed to get to Texas every year for the past 4 years running. Not bad. This visit will take us to Austin which is one city I've yet to cross of my list of Texas trips. I'm looking forward to it. But even more, I'm looking forward to some writing time on the ranch surrounded by cowboys, longhorn steer and horses. Nothing a Yellow Rose writer enjoys more.
