Not writing related at all


Today is my first official day back in the writing game after months away from my manuscripts. I’m using this blog to limber up my creative juices.

As a fun side note, my imagination is feeding me the sound of collective gasps from those who know how I get sucked into writing and forget things like answering the phone, cooking, and changing out of my PJs as I type, but the absence was for a good reason. I am happy to say that we have finally relocated.

Rewind a line, we are not quite relocated but at least in the correct city and state. Our new home still sits empty, waiting for the moving van to show up. We pray that happens next week. Thankfully, the hotel room is nice, and I’ve been keeping busy making to-do lists, and setting up trash, cable, water, electric, and etc.

Good times.

The best thing about the move is that this time away from writing has provided me with a chance to expand my mind, and I wanted to share a few things I’ve learned.

1. I will never be a long haul trucker

2. I shouldn’t watch the DVD player while driving

3. Kansas is big

4. Hydration is important and passing the closest rest stop is a bad idea

5. I owe all of my friends who’ve helped take care of the zoo during this trip my first born child, or a good night on the town (please pick option 2)

6. I will never be a long haul trucker and I’m really happy to be home again
