Spot the writer in the crowd

I was at a local cultural event, something my small city is known for. The culture had a Russian theme and as I sat there watching the fancy costumes catch the light and the dancers step lightly across the stage I realized I needed my pen and a scrap of paper. Everything about this event had to do with the next installment on my vampire romance, Awakening the Blood, where they go looking for Meara's family. I took many notes, and had my head down more often than I looked up. When the show was over I looked over to catch my husband grinning at me. He knows better than to wonder at what i was doing, but at least he thinks it's cute. Who could resist? It was like being there.
