Crunch Time

Yesterday working

Today is my last day in Cape May.  I will miss it it here but it is definitely time to go home now.  My adult children and puppies await!  I have about another 2,000 words until I send what I have done in Cape May, to my editor.  That will be done today.

I am excited about this storyline and think you will be too. 

Back to Work

Late afternoon surf on the beach in Cape May

After a couple of blissful days off I am back at work with the lovely ocean as my backdrop and a beautiful summer...yes summer breeze blowing the palm trees in view.  It is as beautiful as a July day here.  I am thrilled that I am still here writing.

Today I am editing Chapter 19 and then continuing the storyline.  I cannot wait to tell you more about the complexities of Angelique and her journey to discover her true Native American Heritage. She learns a lot about herself and the proud people she can now call her own. How she discovers them and how the information comes to here is the real mystery. Stay tuned.

After the Storm

 We have had some rain in Cape May and all these beautiful stones washed ashore.  Quartz of many colors and ambers are among the choices lining the shore.  I have never seen such a beautiful variety of stones.  I am going to need another hotel room for them.

I am pushing forward in my story line and am going to take a few days break to rest.  It is both draining and invigorating depending upon what I writing and it is time to enjoy a bit of this beautiful town.

A Girl and Her Stones After A Storm

High Winds, Humidity and Another 2,000 Words

Sunset Beach stone collectors

The humidity is crazy high here today, but the sun is blazing and the wind is blowing a cool breeze over the ocean.  Winds are predicted to pick up all day, and my computer screen is already moving slightly back and forth.  I have to position it just right to get it to stay still! 

Anyway, the story is flowing and words are filling up the screen.  It's a good day in the neighborhood!

Another Day of Writing

The view from my Tiki Hut office !

Yesterday, the heavens opened up in Cape May but today is like a perfect summer day...no humidity and lots of sunshine.  The ocean water is warm but the undertow has really been crazy for the last couple of days. Here in the Tiki Hut, the weather remains the same...I feel motivated and excited about my work!  No matter what the sky is doing, I can get work done because I can see the ocean and the ocean inspires me continually.

Today I am adding some finishing touches before sending to my editor.  It promises to be a very productive day!

The Characters of My Life

Ahhh life....

It is so interesting to meet new people when you are sitting and observing life.  So many people just let life pass them by...but then again perhaps that is a judgement call.  I probably am not right because I cannot possibly know what is going on in someone's life, but as a writer I can make up interesting facts that are simply a figment of my imagination. I look at them and get an idea about something...and spin a web.  It's fun and much more involved than that..but I love what I do!
