About Me

My Photo
I write Young Adult and Middle Grade fiction. I'm a married mom of four, and live in the beautiful Okanagan Valley, famous for beaches and vineyards. I'm fond of Lindt's sea salt dark chocolate and hiking in good weather. My Young Adult rom/com time-travel CLOCKWISE series and contemporary/otherworldly Middle Grade IT'S A LITTLE HAYWIRE are now available on Amazon.

Friday Four or Five

1. The first week back from any trip is always a blur of catching up: mail/bills, housework, laundry, conversations with kids, checking in with friends, grocery shopping, going back to that Hot Yoga class you missed for three weeks (eek), checking in with blogger friends, and SLEEP.

Did I mention, sleep? Well, yeah, it's been a pretty good week, and I'm starting to feel normal again and grooving with my routine.


2. I promise to tell a few tales from my travels next week, quite a few interesting things to ponder. Needed time to process before putting it out there. ( See number 1)

The Red Roofs of Brasov
3.  The weather in Europe was better. Hard to get off the plane to weather that still requires blue jeans and a sweater.

4. Despite number one, I managed to cross the 10k line of my new wip yesterday. Who-hoo! And I have a fairly open weekend so I can't wait to keep going. It's requiring some research which I'm doing as I"m going a long, so I know I'll be making some changes in the revisions as the research gets clearer, but I'm okay with that.

5. Writing makes you smarter. It just does.                 

Have a great weekend!

  4. Good luck as you process everything and get back into the swing of things. Congrats on the 10K in your WIP. Those milestones are cause for celebration! As a side note, I tried hot yoga 2 times and nearly fainted, andI wonder how people do it routinely. How do you do it?!
