O'Gaea the Writer

expected to write at least a few notes while we were at Lost Lake this last weekend. Did not write a single word. The Gods were blessing us with many reasons not to boondock/dry camp - including making it one of the *wettest* trips we've ever taken. (Reverence and mirth, heavy on the mirth, right?)

I read several books on my Kindle, which, alas, does not count as writing. Last night, as I fell asleep, I had some workable ideas for what will be a long story or a short book in the Grey Investigations series, but there was no way I was getting out from under three blankets and two dogs to write anything down.

Our next trip is in five days, and we'll be at that campground longer, and it's not expected to rain the whole time, so maybe I can get something on paper then. 🤓

will be writing (or at least jotting notes) - by hand! - this weekend at Lost Lake campground. Where will you be writing?

is giving herself permission to set a work in progress aside for a while. Did y'all know you can do that if you want to?

"The House-Haunting House" is officially on a back burner for now. I'm turning my attention to some short stories (and covers for their collections) and "The Lost Tanist."

Although I won't have anything new out till toward the end of this year, I still have plenty of novels and other books available on Amazon, so take a look there for some summer reading!

I definitely prefer to make the distinction.

is pleased to say that Gresham Writers (local authors, limitless adventures) has started a page. We're still working on it, so be patient, but keep your eyes on us!

after putting it off for some time, got back to reworking "The House-Haunted House" yesterday. Fortunately, the hassle of cutting and pasting is keeping me from creeping out as I turn it into more of a horror story than it already was.
