I had last week off from the day job. However, I didn’t get nearly as much writing done as I wanted to. The first half of the week, I had to travel for family things. Though that visit was capped by a fire nearby at around 10:30 PM. It was especially frightening give how dry everything is in the next of the woods — it seems the entire province is on fire. Watching the river of sparks stream over the house was scary … as I helped water the cedar hedge just in case.
When I got home, I had a three day migraine. Blargh. Do you suffer from migraines? Mine usually aren’t horrible. I can still lie on the sofa and watch quiet, dark TV but doing much more isn’t a good idea.
Luckily that passed in time for me to go camping on a small island nearby where you have to pack everything in … including water. Do you know how much water you need for a few days in the middle of summer? It’s a lot. But worth it; the location is lovely.
And all of that, and the only photo I have is a piece of driftwood that looks like a dead fish. Or is it just me?
But with all of that, I don’t have much of a post today. Hopefully, I’ll have more brain next time.
Writing update
A Lone Star on the Lady Liberty continues over on Armchair Alien. The story features one of the side characters from A Lost Ship in a Deep Grave, book 2 in The Lyra Cycle. If you need to jump back to part 1…
Meanwhile, now headache free and safely back from travels, editing continues on book 3.
Books for your TBR shelf
I’m currently reading a book from my TBR shelf — one I didn’t mind getting wet and sandy, but I’m not sure yet if I’ll recommend it.
In the meantime, how about some books featuring outlaws and renegades?
Awesome Outlaws: fantasy & science fiction with characters who break the rules
Or you can still pick up discounted scifi and free fantasy books — Sci-fi Books for Everyone and Free Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy books.
Happy reading!
