Where I've been

I know I've been a little absent on the blogs the last couple weeks. Here's where I've been.



I love this show soooo much. Newspaper reporter Joe Bradley dreams of being a song writer but is experiencing a little writers block until he spends the day with Princess Ann so clearly there is a little writing tie in for me. Besides that the music is all Cole Porter which I love.

RTW- Writing retreat

Road Trip Wednesday is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question that begs to be answered. In the comments, you can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic.



If you could go on a writing retreat anywhere, where would you go & who would you bring?


I've wanted to go on a writing retreat to the Madeline Island School of the Arts but the last couple summers have been way to busy to accommodate this. 






My perfect writing retreat would be situated near a lake or some other body of water. When I needed a break from writing I'd probably want a paddleboard or kayak and maybe a bicycle.

































I am not good at roughing it so a some sort of resort type place would be awesome. I would consider roughing it in an airstream trailer somewhere but that airstream has got to be pimped with all the amenities. 


I'd definitely bring the gals from my writing group because they were super supportive and awesome. Really anyone who  wants to sit and write for a week or a weekend or whatever. 


What about you? Where is your perfect writing retreat?

RTW- Best book of May

Road Trip Wednesday is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question that begs to be answered. In the comments, you can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic.



What was the best book you read in May?

This is an easy answer. INSURGENT by Veronica Roth. The sequel to DIVERGENT. 
Loved this exciting book and of course now I can't wait until the next book comes out. 


Insurgent (Divergent, #2)
