A Writer's Retreat

Picture
Ever wonder what happens when your favorite Author's/Bloggers have a brain-storming holiday? Sometimes, NOT what you think. Here are some common misconceptions about what writers do to 'exercise' their creative juices:

Picture
1) Spend hours alone in a room, surrounded only by their computer, and social media devices . . . WRONG!

Picture
2) Drop out of sight for weeks on end vowing not to communicate with the outside world until they can motivate themselves to get another chapter or blog written . . . WRONG!

Picture
3) Load up on snacks, junk food, sodas, energy drinks, and coffee, and burn the midnight oil . . . WELLLL . . . somewhat true.

4) Vow to spend ALL their time immersed in their characters . . . Hmmm, I guess we're getting closer to the truth.

Picture
5) And, finally . . . re-write, re-write, outline, outline, and if they have a writing partner (like we do), TALK . . . TALK . . . TALK . . . I think we've lost the misconceptions. ​

This is a glimpse into our annual 'Summer Writing Retreat'

Picture
Prepared for a nice quiet start to our time together, I realized early on into the process that I was being bombarded with a 'crowd' of relatives. NOT that this was a bad thing, (we tried hard to work around them) but it DID slow us down by 4 days.

However . . . in-between an all-day trip to see Chip and Joanna's Silo's in Waco, and lots of family chatter, we managed to keep our imagination pumps primed. In the process we converted at least ONE family member to the KPOP 'dark-side', and even got her excited (maybe too excited) about our fanfic, "Cup of Hotness Cafe." ​

Four days later, after much bawling, we said our good-byes. (Always make time for family, no matter what your schedule). Now, it was time to get down to business . . . Here, comes the Chairman's Daughter's RETREAT schedule:

Picture
Picture
COFFEE . . . COFFEE . . . VIDEOS . . . VIDEOS . . . REHASHING OLD CHAPTERS . . . REWRITES . . . COFFEE . . . COFFEE . . . UPDATING SOCIAL MEDIA . . . VIDEOS . . . VIDEOS . . . GROCERY STORE . . . SNACKING . . . SNACKING . . . MORE COFFEE . . .

Picture
SLEEP . . .
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that. And, that wasn't always what it was cracked up to be. When one of us got up in the middle of the night, the other slept through. When one got up early, the other got up late. We managed to shower, (didn't want to stink up the place, especially my new house!) ​

Picture
One trip to the pool to 'relax' for a whopping 45 minutes in 14 days! (I live in Texas where it's hot.)

Picture
We spent countless hours watching SHINee videos (Our favorite KPOP group), and even more hours in our alternate fanfiction universe as Soomin and HyeSu Jang. ​

Picture
After 13 days (with 1 more to go) we're STILL arguing about 'housekeeping' issues. Go figure. BUT . . . It has been a BLAST. This is not our first pony ride, we get together like this at least once a year, and it DOES prove to be productive in a lot of ways. 

Most importantly, writing is our passion, so we want to guarantee we are doing our VERY BEST for YOU the readers! Keeping our social media pages up to date, reworking our fanfiction pages and having fun in the process. When we're relaxed and organized, we do our best work. ​

Picture
We head back into 'normal' mode in a day . . . but even then some things don't change. We still communicate nearly every day by phone, kick ideas around, play with story boards on our phones, discuss new videos and engage in the imaginary lives of our characters. Without that, we run dry. Oh, and one more thing . . . it still takes COFFEE . . . COFFEE . . . COFFEE . . . (Probably why we wrote a fanfic called 'Cup of Hotness Cafe', around Coffee quotes).

Thanks for the page likes. Brighten our day and keep them coming.

Minho: Noona did a great job on the blog. Although I'm a little put out we weren't invited. 
Key: Well Baby did the hard work . . . she wrote everything, all Noona did was look up pictures. My job should be so easy.
Minho: Your job? First of all you don't have a JOB either. And, sleeping is hard work? Noona said she snored for over an hour.
Key: I repeat . . . hard work. It was that soothing SHINee music playing.
Minho: The result of your JOB. You should be gratefui! I win. Conversation over. 
Key? Kibum? 
Key: Zzzzzzzz . . . 
Minho: Aishhh . . . he's working again.
