Two weeks in France and I was writing everyday. I am twenty pages and a few plot wholes away from a finished draft of The Devil's Due. I wrote well when I was away from my writing desk.

J’adore la France!!
I've been in France over a week and I love it. The people are friendly, the countryside amazing and the food unbelievable. Our little merry band of Americans are making out way across French wine country with relative ease. Unlike in the states, there are a lot more people here who speak a second language … Continue reading J’adore la France!!
The Travails of Travels
The second day of travel came to a close with us no where near France. Our flight to Paris has been delayed by nearly three hours. So, we sat and waited for our third companion to join us and decide where we shall use the voucher that Air France gave us. It was nice of … Continue reading The Travails of Travels
Writer on the go
This morning, I woke up in a strange room in a city that neighbors the one I grew up in. As my traveling companion slept fitfully in his bed, I moved through the room making coffee, showering, reading and doing my morning exercises. The nervousness and tears that had marked my first day of travel … Continue reading Writer on the go
Pennies for Peru
Sounds like fundraising campaign, doesn't it. It is actually the savings plan for a trip I am dreaming about this spring. Dreaming against logic that I will be standing on ancient ground wondering at the marvel of a city all but forgotten until the descendents of its destroyers found it again. Machu Picchu was rediscovered … Continue reading Pennies for Peru
Laboring Away on Labor Day
Leaving my neighborhood this morning, I noticed something unusual for a Labor Day morning trash cans lining the curb. This just shouldn't be.. don't my neighbors know that the trash men don't come on holidays. But maybe this year, it is going to be different.. maybe they will come. Maybe America or at least Orlando's waste management company has … Continue reading Laboring Away on Labor Day
Plan Q
Plans are meant to be adapted and changed. This week I wanted to spend a lot of time working on Blood Child, a short story turned novella, about the tenth anniversary of a bloody massacre and its' only survivor. Life, however, had other tasks in mind for this week. My body and mind are still … Continue reading Plan Q
A Home For Tank…
I didn't intend on getting a puppy dog. Honest.. I daydreamed about it, but after trying a couple of times to adopt off of pet finder I gave up trying for a while. Better to focus on getting my house in order than introducing a new member. A week ago, there was a Chihuahua-mix wandering … Continue reading A Home For Tank…
The Last Unicorn the Graphic Novel
Since 1968, this story has been capturing hearts and minds. My heart was taken prisoner in the late eighties when it appeared on TV and like many children I didn't realize there was a book. Sad, but true.. now there is a graphic novel to call me back to this enchanting tale. It adds rich details … Continue reading The Last Unicorn the Graphic Novel
The Ride Slows Down
The roller coaster hasn't let me off, but I did manage to make my weekend writing goal and took a nice chunk out of this week's goal in the same shot. It has slowed down a bit as I have been taking the time to breathe, rest and repeat. One of my favorite author's is … Continue reading The Ride Slows Down
