The book is clearer in my mind. <br /><br />Mirka -- It wouldn't work for me if I had to do anything other than write, and it wouldn't work for me if I didn't have my own room. Some writers retreat together and take turns cooking meals. I bring portable food and go out for dinner. No prep; no cleanup!Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006966091789130047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054081895459294120.post-40154138516986977222014-10-12T13:25:29.786-05:002014-10-12T13:25:29.786-05:00Seems a marvelous place to re-connect in many ways...Seems a marvelous place to re-connect in many ways.

I spent many weekends as a kid in the Campbellsport and West Bend areas, so that's why it sounded familiar. Very pretty country, and you just can't beat the old, restored hotels for ambience and inspiration. D.E. Malonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10256696009575732721noreply@blogger.com
