Happy T-Day

Happy belated Thanksgiving. I hope everyone had a wonderful, fun, food-filled holiday. I spent my holiday taking a hiatus from writing and work. I didn't intend to do that...I lugged my computer and manuscript all the way to Colorado with me. It's just when I got there, I decided adoring my nephew and hanging with my brother and sister-in-law would be a much better use of time.

I arrived with Hurricane Loehr, and the rest of the familial storm blew in over the course of the next few days. We did all sorts of good Colorado stuff, like skiing and hiking, and wandering around the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder. The kids got to bond, and the adults got to watch. Jake made his theatrical debut when he was yanked out of the crowd by a street performer. Needless to say, he upstaged the guy and people from the crowd gave Jake money when it was over. His first paid acting gig. He was very excited. Maya, his manager, demanded 50%. He gave it to her.

Now I'm home, going through kid withdrawl, wishing someone would cook me a huge breakfast. Amazing how quickly one can get accustomed to being waited upon hand and foot. The kitties, however, are totally uninterested in making me eggs right now. At least 3-year old Adam would crack the eggs and pour the oatmeal.

Some writing stuff did happen. Dad read the first draft of my mystery and had some very valuable feedback. Of course, the feedback requires major rewriting and some restructuring, but he had a few ideas that I think could be great if I can figure out how to do it. So...back to work with me!
