I love holidays for two reasons - time to write (after I program for school, of course) and time to sleep in and make up for all the early morning rises to "squeeze in" more time for writing.

But I bet your editor or copy editor will have something to say about it - LOL! Wordle is great!<br /><br />The outback picture is actually of the "mountain" where I live. The village is at the base of it. I can see out across the plains where I took the picture from. The area reminds me of the countryside around Warwick and Yangan in Queensland, very similar geography and farming communities in both places. Feel free to drive out - you have a bed at my place any time!<br /><br />And yes, Hugh-baby, I have quite a few versions of my Aussie hero/inspiration (and quite a nice one of him as The Drover from the movie AUSTRALIA). Sigh...<br /><br />Hi, Christina! Another pantster in the fog admirer! Glad to hear I'm not the only one hanging out to see VB hit the shelves!

At a conference in America an editor at one of the published author sessions had a pile of beautiful polished small rocks in a basket with a word painted on it and we all had to take one. I still have mine on my dressing table but now think it should be facing me under this monitor as I type.
