Time slips away, or does it?

I don’t know about you, but I feel perpetually behind.

Behind with this book (still). Behind on the biz side of writer stuff. Behind on making doctor’s appointments and PT appointments, in part because PT will just take up more of my time!

But, deep breath.

I’m back from a recent week spent in Seattle.

I was asked to speak at a book club, a first for me. Squee! It was really fun. I was surprised that I ended up talking about being a writer a bit more than about the book, but everyone seemed happy at the end.

Since I was going to be there, I was able to conduct on-the-ground research for a greater Undead Age World story that I want to set in Seattle.

Because, you know, the list of ideas for stories I want to write isn’t already longer than my arm.

This particular idea was sparked by a prior visit to the Space Needle.

• Added bonus: my favorite research assistant was able to join me (that’s my husband, who is a really good minion and story brainstorming partner).  

• Bigger added bonus: that on-the-ground research confirmed that my Space Needle idea will actually work.

• Yet another added bonus was spending some time with family in the area.

So… that’s the latest. Now off to resume editing Undead Impact.

Go easy on yourself, dear reader. Or—as Jennifer Stone used to say—if you can’t go easy, go as easy as you can.
