The Iron Springs Writers' Retreat sounds, when you think about it, as if it ought to be all steampunk all the time. But no, it's not for writing that features iron springs, it's at the rustic Iron Springs Resort. But now that I have the image of giant iron springs (of the BOING! variety, not the much more probable BLUPBLUPBLUP variety) stuck in my head, I'm picturing a writing retreat where everyone gets around by pogo stick. Remember to pack extra binder clips for your manuscripts.

Hooray! I went last year, though of course that's probably how you found me. Anyway, it was a blast. I'm all for introducing more steampunk, though I'm pretty sure the pogo sticks would either sink in the sand or kill us if we tried to use them on the hills.

And I love Drollerie Press--I'm going to go snag the first in your series, now! Thanks for finding me.

Wait, I remember you! HAHAHA! Sometimes I am so slow

You taught me stunning and useful items about grammar in New Brunswick, right?

They were stunning and useful? I'm so glad to hear it!

I remember you and [livejournal.com profile] criada from that conference. I'm looking forward to meeting you both again.

Woot! Looking forward to seeing you. Maybe I'll have even finished that Manuscript about that girl you were such a fan of. ;)

Ditto to what Sän said. It'll be great to see you again!

How is Mina holding up, now that you have two real live kids at home?

I think you could sneak that image into some bit of fiction sometime. Perhaps iron spring pogo sticks would be good for scaring off fey? Or perhaps just leave them laughing so hard they would leave you alone? Maybe it just belongs in a Changeling game someplace.
