Writer Retreat & Events
Last week, I rode with sister-Minnesota writer Erica Vetsch to Southwestern Missouri at the invitation of author-friend Michelle Griep. Together the three of us brainstormed, wrote, commiserated, and caught up on each other’s lives.
And ate. A lot.
Michelle is an amazing hostess who spoiled us rotten. That 9-hour drive was definitely worth it!
We also did two speaking events while we were there. We first spoke at a meeting of American Christian Fiction Writers Missouri-Ozarks chapter (Thank you, Erin Mifflin!), and later participated in a Literary Festival at a public library.
Our talks went well, and I enjoyed chatting with writers and readers, as well as spending time with likeminded friends. Here are just a few of the folks we talked to: Melissa and Amber.
Have you spent time with friends lately, too? Please let us know in the comments and thank you for stopping by!

So fun! What a great group of authors you are. I’m looking forward to a writer retreat and a reader retreat coming up this fall. Bookish friends are the best.
Sounds wonderful, D’Ann!
That drive was definitely worth it. Such a refreshing time with you both!
Nine hours in a car has never flown so quickly! Thanks again for driving and for the good conversation!
Missouri is such a wonderful place as are the residents
