In my last blog post, I asked the question, "Does writing ever get easier?" In it, I shared some of the miseries and craziness that goes on in a writer's head and/or life. This time, I want to share one of the joys: Other writers. On Monday I returned from the 14th annual brainstorming retreat that I have been a part of from the start.
