There's No Vacation for Writers

Hi, remember me?

I don't want to know how long it's been since my last post. My family and I have been planning, executing and dealing with the aftermath of moving to a new state. We're still in limbo since we haven't found a house yet, but despite our physical discomfort, one thing remains constant: I am still a writer. Even though I don't get to write as regularly as I could before, my mind is constantly working, cranking out new ideas and working over the old ones.

That's why I wanted to write this post, because a writer is never NOT writing. Even if I was vacationing in Fiji, I would be writing about the things I see there. If I was relaxing at an ultra-posh Spa, I'd be writing about the things I experience there.

So even though I haven't been able to sit down and write as regularly as I would have liked in the last month or so, I'm always writing in my mind. I think any true writer would do the same.

Now, as I'm getting settled in my new surroundings, I've come up with a better storyline for my first book "Hibiscus, Believe". It was such a good storyline, that I decided to rewrite the whole thing. Quite an undertaking, but it will be very much worth it. Perhaps I should change the title of my blog to "The Evolution of Hibiscus." Naaaaa.

I hope it won't be as long before I get around to another post, but I fully intend to share my adventures with you about living in my new town of Salem, Oregon.

TTYS!
