Guest Posting on A Hopeful Romantic!

I’m quite delighted and honored that the utterly lovely KD Grace (whom, incidentally, I adore) invited me to visit her blog, A Hopeful Romantic, today. I wrote about my trip to Niagara Falls earlier this year, which was solely devoted to writing—and writing of a particular kind, as I talk about in the post. I also share an excerpt of an unpublished story that was one of the ones I worked on while I was there (and that is partially set there). I’d love it if you stopped by to see me! :)

Love,

Emerald

Niagara Falls still calls to me. I find myself wanting to go back at least every other week or so, and now that it is the off-season again, that may happen in the near future. Or maybe not. But what seems to me one of the most valuable offerings I could embrace from that magical trip is the essential reminder that this is what I do. And I can do it whether a pristine view of world-class magnificence is right out my window or I am sitting in my chair in my office. Whatever is outside me, the inside is the same.
