An Escape

The hard part about doing a large chunk of work (writing and otherwise) at home is the nagging feeling that I can always be doing something more. I just finished the second draft of a big project I’m working on, but up until then my days had pretty much been work-edit-work-edit, and stopping usually just made me feel bad.

There’s always a little more work to do, or a few more words to edit.

But I finished the second draft of The Current WIP, which coincided perfectly with a weekend trip away! Down to Orlando to visit a friend. Sometimes you just need to get away for a little while. We enjoyed reruns on TV, good food, and wine, proving that the simple things in life are the best things.

The girlfriend and I ended up getting a little turned around on the way home (as turned around as you can get with three GPS’ going on at the same time, anyway), which took us over the bridge pictured above. I wouldn’t have thought to find a view like that in that part of the state, but it was unexpectedly beautiful, made even better by the fact that it was a surprise.

Now I’m back home and ready to kick butt again.
