Well, it's Tuesday... time to post on my blog! :) So what have I been up to lately?Aside from staying inside (because of the constant BELOW ZERO weather), I've been surviving the Alaskan frontier. YAY! It's so totally opposite of Hawaii... which is a nice break. Don't get me wrong... I LOVE Maui, but with the constant VOG (volcanic smoke), and the one, non-changing season, I got bored. I needed change. I need an adventure, and what better place to find that than - Alaska! hahaha
It helps that my parents and siblings all live here too. :)
So, I've been very busy, busy, busy, trying to finish my next novel. This place gives me great inspiration. I look out the window one day to a gray sky and snow falling. The next is a beautful, blue-sky, sunshiny day, with the snow glistening like glitter. Beautiful... but COLD! Tonite we're supposed to see the Aurora Borealis! I hope, I hope, I hope!
So far I've learned how to make a fire, collect wood, use a snow-blower, and a snow shovel, and make sure I've had enough layers on before I head out into the negative weather. When a writer uses the words - the cold air bit (or nipped) at my skin... that's what it feels like. Someone literally biting my skin off, in BIG frozen chunks! :) I've been so cold that when I breathe in, my nose hairs freeze. Yes, I said nose hairs! I know. It's gross, but it's the craziest, most awkward feeling!
So I'm on a mission! I'm going to finish Book 2 in my new trilogy, and start Book 3 by the end of next month (February). At least it's a goal, and I desperately need a goal to stay motivated. It also helps when I write my goals on this blog, so other people can read it and make me accountable! ;)
Well... until next time my awesome friends and followers!
Since our move from Hawaii to Alaska on December 15th, I'm only now getting back to my old self. The - trying to get settled, spending the holiday season with the family, and not to mention...the constant negative degree weather has taken it's toll. It's been below zero for weeks now!!!! UGH!!! This morning it was -25 degrees! Yep... and because of that... we all got the dreaded cold. :(
But now that I'm feeling better... time to get back on track!
My brain has slowly defrosted and is ready to get back to writing! I can't wait to find out what happens next in the new novels I'm writing! I'm so excited! Well... back to my other world... the world inside my mind. It's such a cool place to be! :) I'll share it with you very soon! I promise! :D
