And I won't have to spend any money to do it! My mom and stepdad live about 30 minutes away, and they are going out of town in a few weeks. I'm going to stay at their house! Just me and my laptop. I won't be able to stay an entire week, probably just for two days, but I will make the most of those two days!

(sigh) I've often thought of making my own retreat and just renting a room near the coast where I can hear the waves crashing for four or five days. That would be enough.Rosihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01294774973863802821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-84427244142946184532013-12-22T21:08:16.904-05:002013-12-22T21:08:16.904-05:00I want a publishing contract.

LOL Also, uninterrupted time to write would be great too, although I know I have more time than a lot of other writers since I don't have a day/other job.
