No Internet? Now THAT'S Fearless!

FEARLESS FRIDAY

Sometimes I bemoan the fact I am so "connected". How peaceful it would be if I didn't blog or have email or worry what I'm missing if I didn't have Internet. But when you're an author, it's near impossible to exist without being connected. In fact, not connected would be like...fearless.

Which I'm not!
 
It didn't occur to me I'd be without Internet this week. My husband is fulfilling a bucket list item by serving as a marshal in a pro fishing tournament in Lake Havasu, Arizona. He booked us at a beautiful state park camp and RV park about fifteen minutes out
View from top of one of the trailsof the city. There's a sandy beach for people and a separate one for doggies. There are trails and fantastic scenery right on the lake. But no WiFi? He didn't think to ask. We've never encountered this. My HotSpot box won't even connect me. My phone only gets occasional coverage and is so small I can't do much besides look at my email.

Just hope I'm caught up by lunchtime. Might be time to start the diet. If I get out of here soon, I won't be able to respond to comments until I'm back to civilization

When I'm hunkered down in the RV, without Internet, I do get more writing accomplished. Book four in my Love and Murder series took flight yesterday. And I got in two great walks.

An elderly gentleman on his way out, stopped by my table and commented. He told me he used to be plugged in but gave it all up a couple of years ago. All he owns now is a simple phone for emergencies. Hmmm...some day maybe.


Although she didn’t start out to write romantic suspense, Brenda has found all good stories involve complicated human relationships. She’s also found no matter a person’s age, a new discovery is right around every corner. Whether humorous or serious, straight contemporary or suspense, all her books revolve around those two facts.
