The small logging road we hiked during a break between writing sessions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2019 marked our third annual Mountain Muse Christian Writer’s Retreat and this year brought us the fabulous (and award-winning) Becca Whitham to be our speaker!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I wanted the Mountain Muse to be similar to reading a great book on the craft of writing and then jumping right into the creation process immediately afterward. So Becca, brought us together for short sessions on the craft of writing and then released us into the wild to write or wander, whatever our creative process demanded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For some, that meant rushing to the computer to get to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For others, it meant chatting with the speaker about their plot or characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And for others, it was a walk in God’s glorious creation to get those creative juices flowing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This stunning view is only about a mile from the camp and was well worth the hike there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add in worship time with Choco<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And the loving attentions of Princess Leia Freyja our Mascot<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And the weekend was just what I had envisioned. A time for writers to gather, learn, encourage one another, and relish in some much needed quiet so that they could create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Princess Leia Freyja is all ready for next year’s retreat! What about you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
