    Dear Fictionauters-

    In 48 hours I will leave for Wyoming on a writer's retreat. I ain't never done nothin' like this before! Could be heaven. Could be, well, I don't know what. I hope to write my ass off. Anyway, I've created a blog. The address is wyomingjournal.blogspot.com. I've already posted on little thing.

    I'd love to hear from you. I 'spect it's going to be lonely out there on the plains. No TV, little internet (there are a couple of "hot spots" on the ranch, and ... no car). What I will have is my computer, a camera, and lots of little notebooks I can stick in my jacket pockets.

    You all have been a lifeline to me. I'll give you the skinny on what it's really like to go on a retreat. Please join me...

    Best,

    D'Arcy

    So cool! I love Wyoming. Get lost in the Wilderness (metaphorically of course) and have some fun times!!!

    Enjoy! Thanks for sharing. I've done the Wesleyan Seminar but not a retreat as yet. I'm really hot on getting a small group of writers together and renting a small cottage deep in the woods, with a lake, and of course, internet access.

    D'arcy, such places are like a vacuum that sucks out all the pretense we accumulate, makes us like children with new eyes, new dreams, new souls. The desert did that to me and it's hardly a thing to fear. I do hope you enjoy the time and look forward to reading your thoughts.

    D'Arcy, I bet you come out of this with a ton of new material. Have a blast, and enjoy what is different and new out there. It sounds like a heavenly escape route

    Dear Jules, Susan, James, and Susan T:

    Thank you for your good wishes. Can you tell how excited I am???!!! I'm packing my hikin' books. Jules, I too love the west, and James,, I'm a huge fan of the desert as well. Walking rain, anyone? Susan G., I think a writer's retreat would be so wonderful. I agree about the internet access. And a chance to come together at the end of the day? Miss Susan T: I hope this does give me stuff to write about.

    Best,

    D'Arcy

    D'Arcy, is that in Jackson Hole by chance? At any rate, I am jealous of this retreat. Have a great, productive, and inspiring time there.

    Thanks, Kathy. Actually, it's in the northeast corner of the state, near Sheridan. It's the U-Cross Ranch, run by the U-Cross Foundation. It's a working ranch. Thanks for you kind wishes. You ought to apply!!!

    Happy travels D'Arcy! Already blog-hopped.

    Susan, there is a house on the James River in Virginia that rents rooms especially for writers and poets. Kitchen, porch, ashram down the road, wifi...

    just a hint, ya know! Peace...

    Linda, where is that place? The James is a rather long river.
