🎵And I’m writing a novel, because it’s never been done before. 🎵
That sounds like a lovely plan, and like it would be a wonderful time! Ah, I hear you about the time and short it would take to arrange… but with all those opportunities in one place, it would be a retreat to remember.

Ah, thanks! Yeah, the pumpkin itself is an important factor in the making of the pancakes, I’ll bet. 😊

Thanks so much, happy (belated) Thanksgiving!!

OMG, if you get that retreat center set up, keep me posted! I’d love to take part of I could. 😄

Ooo, I was close!

Uh oh, is there gonna be a murder in this novel? I have a bad feeling about these twists, LOL…

Ugh, it’s so painful trying to remember what the sleep-brain was thinking… 😭

You’re more determined than me, for sure—wishI could do that! I try to put notes on such things into my phone, but thanks to autocorrect the next day readability is pretty hit or miss…

Morning self: Ok, I get the pizza and wombat part, but where did a cool guy factor into it??? 😂
November 26, 2025 at 6:03 PM
I bet that was an awesome experience! Must be cool to be in such proximity to not just castles but so much other history where you live. ☺️

And yes, I did spend 3 weeks in a Spanish castle for a writing workshop, and it was amazing! Just wish I could do something like it again. Sigh…

I like recipes that are both simple and delicious sounding, may have to give these pancakes a try sometime this season. Thanks for the idea!
November 26, 2025 at 5:58 PM
Sounds like a great deal! 😆

Same here. If only we could have unlimited time off to do, like, art and stuff!

I could see the benefit of a week long retreat but personally probably couldn’t do that right now. But even a long weekend to get away from things would be nice.

Yeah, you want it to be jussst the right amount of haunted, I’d say.

Depending on the rules of the cabin/bog/etc., I’d go for a bring your own policy, I think.
November 19, 2025 at 5:14 PM
I love the sound of that. Will have to keep my eye out when it’s available!
November 19, 2025 at 5:10 PM
Oh, I know how that goes. Getting it done is an achievement in itself!

What’s the story about, if I may be so nosy as to ask? (If not that’s ok too.)
November 19, 2025 at 4:45 PM
I like the way you think! And if they’re all horror writers, even better.😆😆
November 19, 2025 at 4:26 PM
Congrats, that’s super exciting!
November 19, 2025 at 4:25 PM
Super jealous that you can enjoy a coffee in a castle though. I bet the atmosphere is amazing!
November 19, 2025 at 4:13 PM
Ooh, I don’t think I’ve ever had pumpkin pancakes before, but those sound delicious! And pumpkin soup. 😋 It’s almost Thanksgiving here, so my other half is fine tuning the pumpkin pie recipe right now—I certainly can’t complain! 😆
November 19, 2025 at 4:12 PM
Thanks so much!!
