What happens on the Moxie 4 retreat, stays on the Moxie 4 retreat...But I do have to share the following exchange:

"Wow.  There is enough chocolate there to jump start a Buick."
"Is there something wrong with jump starting a Buick with chocolate?"
"Nope.  Didn't say that."

Anyway, I had a great retreat with my critique group, the Moxie 4...well, at least 2 of the other 3, anyway, since The Radiance moved.  We did an Artist for a Day trip, lunch, dinner, and stayed up to at least 3am, cackling.  My creative batteries are recharged.  The Girls in the Basement have 'ideas" again.  And I have to stop sharing now or I will lose my girl-card. 

Additional quotes:
"So, Death, The Fool, and the Hermit walk into my Tarot reading..."  
----I guess that means that change is coming, don't be afraid, keep on truckin'

"So I can has writing time?"
----A gift quote from LOL Cats

"Matrix-Cat says there is no spoon"
----Translation: shut up, put yer butt in the chair, and write.  Damn the torpedos, and all that rot.

Speaking of the Girls in the Basement, I really have to work on their timing.  They are now throwing up ideas for the 2nd book of the series--I didn't realize there was going to be a 2nd book to the series--unfortunately, I am only halfway done with the first one.  Please see previous post concerning epiphanies....*long suffering sigh*   (not really.)
