Rainforest Writer's Retreat

[elfs]

I'm currently in Quinalt, in the heart of the Washington Peninsula, attending the 2008 Rainforest Writer's Retreat. I have no idea how productive this is going to be for me, although I did write 3,300 words or so after dinner, so I suppose that's a good sign.

The drive was nice. Beautiful terrain. Predictably, the "service engine soon" light came on, but there was no noticeably strange behavior from the car. Both Patrick and Jay Lake are here, as is Susan Matthews. On the one hand, it's intimidating being in such rarified company, but on the other it's nice to be just left alone to write.

I have weirdly intermittent Internet access. Sometimes, the light steadies, and sometimes it just stops working. It's steady now, so off this goes.

What a great location for a bunch of writers -- if I recall correctly, it's the rainiest populated area on the planet, with about 160 inches a year.
