I went on vacation earlier this month. And while most of my vacation was writing my next book by the pool, I did take a day to do some fun things.

Rain. As much as I love Colorado, I miss rain.

Walking my dogs. They don’t agree on a lot, but they both love walks.

I use Pro Writing Aid, Grammarly, and Hemingway editing software. They don’t catch everything, but they make my editor’s job a lot easier.

Had a wonderful trip to SeaWorld. It was cut short by rain, but I’d already done almost everything I wanted to do by that time.

Here I am with Laurel McHargue. I love hanging with Leadville Laurel even if she doesn’t actually reside in Leadville anymore.

Im taking a Personal writing retreat. With a side trip. Three books coming out in the next three months, I think I’ve earned a personal day. Wish Stephanie was here with me, but we couldn’t make it happen this year. We’ll do something together next year.

Hiking. Terry Mixon manages to write while walking using Dragon, but I haven’t mastered that skill. It’s great to relax and enjoy the mountains though.
