I've been doing a lot of wandering, and not much writing. The usual problems maintain: both the time and energy shortage while traveling and the struggle to do anything while the latest MS is steeping.
In the last couple of weeks I've traveled some 2300 miles in the car (sharing driving with Second Son) and done a number of great hikes. Spent one weekend with friends around the campfire and another with my family/Mom. So I'm not really beating myself up that all I've done as a writer is maintain my travel notes and write a few paragraphs of world-building for the short story I'm working on. But I am getting itchy to work again, before I head off to Nepal (!) and cease to be a writer or a blogger for a while month! So even though I won't be home for another week, I'm trying to get back onto a proper work schedule.
Before that happens, I would really like to finish the story--and the blog transformation! Watch this space, because there should be a shift to my new author web site coming very soon! When that happens, you will have to sign up again to follow the blog and receive emails when I post, so watch for instructions!
Meanwhile, here's what I was doing a last week!
Hi Rebecca - Nepal lies ahead for you ... just brilliant to read. You are busy and enjoying yourself - fabulous your son #2 has been with you, and you've seen other family. Just enjoy yourself and I so admire your self-motivation ... it's great to see your travels and to read you're writing your notes up. Take care ... and all the best - Hilary
ReplyDeleteI’m very excited about Nepal—and Second Son has just finished some job interviews and gotten a better idea of the schedule, and committed to going with me! Very exciting!
DeleteI think climbing through that slot canyon is your priority right now - and other hiking things :)
ReplyDeleteI agree. But it’s funny—there’s always something missing a little bit if I’m not writing. I guess that’s the reason for the 9 books?
DeleteI can just make out my green shirt here. LOL
ReplyDeleteYup. I did avoid using a photo that showed anyone else clearly :)
