The Great Green Eggs and Ham Eggsperiment #4 : Surf’s Up!

Hey, guys! Welcome to the fourth installment of The Great Green Eggs and Ham Eggsperiment where I share the new things I’ve tried during the week. This week, I’m cheating. This isn’t the first time I’ve surfed  (the last and ONLY time I surfed prior to this was a year ago) but it is the first time I’m daring to post photos of  myself looking like a beached whale in all my post-holiday blubber glory.

Are you ready? Try not to scratch your eyes out.

Surfing is a lot like writing. Well…um…okay – no, it’s not – but since I haven’t posted anything about writing in a loooong time, I figured that I’d give the analogy a go.

Like surfing, writing requires patience. It is a waiting game. You wait for ideas to blossom, for inspiration to strike, and for coffee to brew.

Now you see me...

Sometimes you will catch a wave.

Now you don't.

Sometimes you will wipeout.

Half of the work in writing is about picking yourself up.

It helps to keep your eye on the shore…

…and to enjoy the ride.

***ANALOGY STOPS HERE.***

PROUD MAMA PHOTOS COMING UP.

My 9 y.o.got into the action too but daddy did not have the camera ready when he was finally able to stand. Oh, well. Next time.

Look at what washed ashore! The pink shark took her first surfing lesson that weekend

All good things must come to an end.

But maybe there’s time for just one more wave…

*** WRITING CAVE ALERT***

I have a March 1 deadline for my second novel and I will need to go on a blogging break until then. Hope you catch some great waves while I’m gone. See you soon!
