All my creative pursuits.
With summer waning and school about to start, this next week or two might be your last chance to get away on a vacation. We haven’t taken a break this year thanks to the move. Now that things are settling down, we hope to go to a beach somewhere – something that looks like this:

The sun is setting over my shoulders and I’m feeling mellow and relaxed. The hues of the sky are lavender and pale tangerine. There’s so much horizon in front of me that I can see the curve of the Earth. (Maybe not but let’s go with it anyway). Bottom line? Not much writing going on right now. Maybe the burning brain is finally reduced to coals. I hope I find some fuel to stoke the fire…
And I hope Lula got this one done.
