I’m home and back in the swing of things. However my trip has several side effects that haven’t worn off yet. Both of the children don’t argue when I ask them to do something. I expect this to ware off in the next day or so. J My husband waited on himself yesterday and this morning. This effect may last longer…or it could end this afternoon.
The dogs flipped when I went to the store the other day. I think this one may last the longest. Poor puppies.
My writing has been affected too. I won the contest. (I’ve been told the name drawing was a ruse to spare other writers’ feelings) Not only did winning the actual contest boost my confidence, but someone who’s been down on my writing for a long time read it and loved it. Having his approval shouldn’t mean that much to me. The confidence I have in myself should be all I need…but it meant quite a bit. He will still not see unpolished projects.
At the retreat I got to hang out with other writers. The socialization was as important as getting the actual writing done. I managed to write 17 pages over the retreat with another five in airports and on planes.
As much as I enjoyed the retreat, I’m so glad to be home.
