What happens when four writers rent a house in Sanibel, Florida and decide to set goals?
These "As Heard at Retreat" are "as heard" and not necessarily "as said."
Can you guess the speaker?
a. Lynnette Hallberg
b. Diane O'Key
c. Amanda Flower
d. Marisa Cleveland
1. "If I didn't love you, I'd slap the shit out of you."
2. "...and now I've sliced my finger open."
3. "If an alligator eats her, I'll never get over it."
4. "You have to eat at least one Cheetos."
5. "I like to be right. I don't handle being wrong too well."
6. "Every time I travel something traumatic happens, but I keep doing it anyway."
7. "I will drown my sorrow in guacamole."
8. "Come here. I told Lane I would pinch you." What?!?
9. "Did I show you the picture of me signing his butt?"
10. "Well, I'm doing great with the writing. Nicole will be so proud." -- word count = 0
11. "You can't cure stupid."
12. "Whoo, I'm all hot and bothered."
13. "You just lost your Cheetos for an hour!"
14. "If I'm going to have to drink it, I need it to be frozen. Like a slushy."
15. "Well, it's time to get these two into bed."
16. "I'm totally screwed up."
17. "It's going to hurt, you will cry a lot, and you'll wish you never did it, but it will be worth it."
