We are back in civilization for an hour or two to do laundry. It comes to every camper and hiker! So here's my chance to catch up. Yes, as a writer!
Since our hikes have started typically by 7:15 or 7:30 a.m., we've been done and in camp by mid-afternoon. That's enough time to do some writing, and so far I have written every day, I think at least 1000 words. The new novel is up to 59,237 words as of this writing, and keeping the daily momentum means it's kind of coming together. I do think there will be a lot of moving scenes around--I'm envisioning a lot of notecards to rearrange on a big wall.
Meanwhile, here is proof I've been writing:
 |
| Outside when conditions allow. |

| When the mosquitoes are too bad, I move into my BiL/SiL's camper |
Mornings are spent soaking up the soul-healing beauty of the Sierra Nevada.
 |
| Little Lakes Valley, Rock Creek |
 |
| The beauty of the ancient trees |
 |
| Table Mountain, above Bishop Creek. |
 |
| Treasure Lake, S. Fork Bishop Creek |
 |
| Three happy hikers |

Looks like your having a nice holiday
ReplyDeleteI was thinking I should say something about taking a break from writing while on holiday. But that's me. You have different goals at present. My goal is to have a holiday! I've put the winter collection together, ready for you to attack when you get back. Zanzibar is taking a little longer...
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!
Hi Rebecca - well it all looks very organised ... so definitely time to keep writing. Wonderful you're able to get away with family support ... so pleased for you - the writing hiker. Take care and see you soon - cheers Hilary
