As I prepare this post on Sunday, I am seated at the dining room table with Tamera Alexander, Francine Rivers, and Karen Ball, each of us with a laptop in front of us (three MacBooks, one PC, in case you're wondering) writing away. Some of our group had to depart today. We all hate it as the departures begin because we know it will be too long until we are together again.
Since I am feeling a little brain dead after hours and days of brainstorming and hours and days of laughter, not to mention nights of way too little sleep, I'm going to make this a short post, and simply share a few photos of these wonderful women I love oh-so-much.
L to R: Tricia Goyer, Brandilyn Collins, Karen Ball, Janet Ulbright, Robin Lee Hatcher, Francine Rivers, Tamera Alexander, Gayle DeSalles, Sheila Lovell, and Sharon Dunn
L to R: Karen, Sharon, Tamera, Robin, Francine, Gayle, Tricia, Brandilyn
Seated: Sheila and Janet
Four writers, just returning from a brisk walk in the beautiful Idaho mountains. My Fitbit told me we climbed the equivalent of 21 stories on our walk. Our Tamera is the force behind any exercise we get.
See you next week.

It looks like you ladies had an absolutely wonderful time!! So glad ya'll are able to get together, throw around ideas, brainstorm, and fellowship :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful time! The scenery looks familiar to me, only because I traveled to Idaho last summer & we took a day trip up into the mountains one day, from where my friend lived in Boise. We went up to Payette Lake & the little town of McCall...*shrugs* I suppose all the forests scenery end up resembling other places in the state...glad ya'll had a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these photos, Robin--looks like a fabulous time for you all! And I'm thinking of all the wonderful stories that have been brainstormed (is that a word?) by you ladies--Wow!

Thanks, everyone. I've loaded quite a few photos from the retreat to Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/robinleehatcher) if you want to see more.
ReplyDeleteI guarantee you, there are some wonderful books in store for readers about a year to a year and a half from now.

Robin, what a blessing your time together with other authors must have been. It's a dream-come-true for any writer to have quality time to brainstorm, laugh and fellowship with their peers. I'm so happy for you and looking forward to reading the awesome stories that will come about as a result. Thank you for sharing-- just reading about it was a breath of fresh air!
