All good things come to an end… including Florida beach holidays…

We flew back here to upstate New York on Saturday…

…to be reminded there are no palm trees here. LOL!…

And to be reminded also this morning that it can get SERIOUSLY COLD here in December…

Up very early New York time today because we are living again on UK time (five hours ahead of New York) for my wife’s Zoom meetings with people across the Atlantic.
I need a cup of coffee… definitely…

And I continue to work to pull together the latest novel…
…even now, at 3 o’clock in the mornings.
I spent quite a lot of time on it while we were in Florida. This is what I consider the WORST time for me as I write: the end. There is always – SOMEHOW – a missed “the” in a sentence or something.
It takes a great deal of EFFORT to write something that is EASY to read. I have been at this latest massive historical romantic extravaganza manuscript now for nearly two years and it has been – as my manuscripts in progress always are – a huge part of my daily life. I suppose that fact unsurprisingly now and then even “bleeds” unexpectedly into my ordinary doings.
For example, we had a long day back on Saturday: the predictable airport travel stuff leaving Florida, then two flights (including nearly a missed connection due to bad weather in Charlotte, North Carolina) to Albany, annoying airport stuff on arrival in Albany, and then a snowy and foggy hour’s drive back here to the Catskills. So when we woke up Sunday morning, my wife asked me how I had slept – given I had been unconscious for about 9 hours. “I had a bit of a necessary sleep,” I told her.
“That sounds like something out of your books,” she laughed.
Thus writing. π
Have a good day, wherever you are. π
If I don’t post here again before this coming weekend – which I may not – I hope you have a very good Christmas. π
Merry Merry Christmas to you and your wife.π
