Last Week of Hiatus!

This week will (hopefully) be my final week of silence! I know I've been posting a bit here and there, in between my road trips, but starting next week the posts should go back to a regular routine.

"Regular" in this instance is going to be a once-or-twice-weekly post until some other areas of my workload lighten up. Summertime is difficult because I don't have the school to babysit my son keep my son occupied, plus I'm working on some major writing projects at the moment. While on hiatus I did finish the first draft of my newest novel (yay!) but the hard work of revisions is still ahead of me. We are also redecorating my son's bedroom, hoping to have that complete by the time he goes back to school at the end of August.

So. Many. Things.

Which is why this week I'm relishing the fact that I'll be at my mom's farm in North Carolina, surrounded by open landscapes, fresh air, and lots and LOTS of animals.

Here's a shot of the last time I rode a horse at my mom's, almost four years ago (yes that's really me). My mom has wooded hiking & riding trails in her backyard, you guys. Is that not awesome? The only drawback is that it's a 9-hour drive away.

That's my favorite Appaloosa, and sadly, he died of old age in my absence. Still hoping I'll get to saddle up again this week, though, it's been too long! I'll just have to try a new horse this time.

Until we meet again, happy writing!
