Where'd that week go????
Wow, wasn't it just Monday?
Well, Monday's kind of suck most of the time, perhaps I should wonder where Tuesday went.
It is amazing how busy someone can get and still not manage to get enough done.
First off, I've added a couple of dates to my KC Ren Fest schedule. In addition to today, I will be there tomorrow (23 Sep 2012) and Sunday 7 Oct 2012. If you're in the area, come out and we and can talk. I'll even sign a copy of Mother's Curse for you (booth 531).
Back to my missing week. This last week felt so busy and I was mostly trying to catch up. The weekend prior I was on holiday and that shifted everything around. Of course, I can't complain about being on holiday and I really had a great weekend. We didn't go too far, just took a trip out to St. Louis Friday night and got in some hiking on Saturday and Sunday, then drove back on Monday.
This was me at Hawn State park:
On Saturday, we hiked 10.5 miles on the Pickle Creak and Whispering Pine trails. Then on Sunday, we put in 7.5 miles between Castlewood and Hawn state parks.
Also had to stop by REI. That store is as bad as a book store for us. Definitely will not leave without buying something.
The weather wasn't great for photos (cloud filled skies), so you won't see much from us. However, it was perfect for hiking. Not too hot and a little bit of drizzle dropping from the sky to make things interesting (note, I do like hiking in a light rain).
Here is what the sky looked like most of the time:
On the writing front, I did not get much on paper, but during the 6 - 7 hours on the trails, I was able to mentally flesh out more plot details of the book after the one I am currently working on.
For me, that is the one greatest part of hiking. We were well away from most people (only seeing a few others on the trails at Hawn) and just enveloped by the peacefulness of the trail. Stress just melts away and you can relax outside of your daily life. It gave me lots of time to think and simply enjoy the day.
Now that I am back in front of my computer, I need to get back to putting words down on paper. Another exhilarating pass time that I don't think I can ever get enough of.
Well, now, off to Fest....huzzah!
