I'm on Spring break right now, and that's one of the great things about being a teacher. You get breaks like this. Of course the Summer break is the best one, and that's coming up, too. But that doesn't mean you get to kick back and spend all your time writing, or doing anything on your list of things to do. Because life gets in the way.
First, a week ago was my Silver Wedding Anniversary, and I spent the weekend with my wife at Cavallo Point, which is a fancy Hotel/Resort used for like occasions by the people in the Bay Area. It's on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge, and it's actually situated almost underneath it on the Marin side. You have a nice view of the bridge, and it's quite a sight to behold up close.
This past week, we're having contractors reconstructing our two upstairs bathrooms, and that's not an easy thing, especially if you want to write. In addition to that, my son's getting his first car, and that's another time consuming thing, having to find a good used car at a good price, and then doing the DMV thing which is never a breeze. If you've ever spent any time at the DMV you know what I mean.
But I'm so close to finishing Killer Eyes, the distractions are frustrating to say the least. I've come up with a solution to the snag I mentioned, and I need time to write the scenes necessary to make it all work. I've already started, doing a little here and there. But I need at least one more scene to make it all come together. Hopefully that can happen this week. We'll see.
