Cool rainy, weather, journaling, Anais Nin, Hawaii Five-0 and Chili Dogs.
Cool rainy, weather, journaling, Anais Nin, Hawaii Five-0 and Chili Dogs.
My life at present is a giant blinking cursor on a blank
page because I am in-between projects. This happens every few years, probably
to most writers. But I have been keeping journals dating back to 1978 when I
first began. That’s a lot of journals. My son seems to think I should publish
them, but why on earth anyone would want to read them, I cannot imagine. I feel
like Anais Nin, keeping them safely tucked away in a vault (or in my case a storage
unit, at least those that are pre-computer years). Anyway, since journaling is
what I do the most (I won’t say best), I will keep a journal here at my blog
for no reason at all other than it occupies me and helps me to think and heal, grow, create and prattle on.
One of my unfinished projects that I can’t seem to get back
on (as I am still waiting on that trip to London )
is an historical/fantasy/fiction novel titled Ravenna . I only found out today that Oscar
Wilde has a poem of the same title, his though is of course about the town Ravenna in Italy .
Mine is a fascinating combination of historical fiction mixed with fantasy
paralleling both the Medieval world and the modern day with two strong and
amazing female characters racing against evil through the passageways of time. From
the magic of Avalon to the marauding raiders of the Welsh Marches, ancient
priests and secret societies, modern-day thugs and ageless evil, RAVENNA will
stand the test of time both in her story and on the shelves (once it is
finished that is . . . )
In the meantime, I am preparing dinner in my New Mexico home on a cool, rainy, autumn day as I await
this evening’s latest episode of Hawaii
Five-0. And yes, we are having chili-dogs smothered in cheese and onions!
Thanks for joining me, until tomorrow,
