What a week…

The landlord tried to evict us. Family drama at home spilled over my way this week. My driver’s license expired. And I got fired.

That’s the story of my week. You know, the more I am out on the West Coast the more it just never works…maybe I’m just not meant to be out here? Or maybe it’s a sign that I should be focussing on my books…I was getting strange vibes about a week or so ago something was going to happen. I was restless. And now here I am- unemployed again.

But it’s OK. I think my books should have been first priority all along. So hubby and I have come up with a nice little plan. Seems as journalism never goes my way, we are going to go fruit picking for the summer and then back home to open a bookstore. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do and it will give me a chance to write as well. And it’ll be something I have never done.

In some ways I am relieved about my job. I am looking forward to spending this summer just working and writing, and going on some adventures. Small towns have never really been my thing.

But enough about that. I have also been working on book covers. “Wildflowers, Scattered Estranged” and “Travis” have different covers as I have just been playing with fonts and arrangements.
