Just joined....

Wow. It's really difficult to write when one is on vacation. I just got home last Monday from The Philippines. We (my wife, son and I) were there for two weeks and it's absolutely insane how much time is taken with seeing family and friends and catching up. I honestly thought I'd be able to get a few hours in everyday but, alas, I was mistaken. I did - since my novel is set in New Jersey, Singapore and Manila - accomplish some research so I will have to go back to chapters I've already written and liven them up with things I saw, tasted and heard.

Anyway, now that I'm back, I will be able to get back to my routine and finish my book. Happy writing everyone.

You too. Back to the daily grind, eh?

sighs. Life is hard.

[Juan]

Yes, back to the daily grind but with jet lag and the volleyball season having just started (I'm a teacher and a volleyball coach) it's still not in full swing yet. :-(

[Juan]

Aarrgghh!! Writing is happening at a snail's pace lately. Only two weeks of the volleyball season left, however, so I should find myself with a lot more writing time. Hope everyone else is having better success.

[Paul]

Nah. Work still gets in the way...
