Summer Vacation

Hi everyone. It's been awhile so I thought I should check in and update my status. I decided to take some months off from my writing and regroup. It has been wonderful spending time with family and my beautiful grandchildren.

I have been watching our wildfire situation for weeks now here in British Columbia. Especially my former residence in Clinton in the BC Interior. They have been evacuated and the fire has been licking at the hills leading down to the valley where this quaint historical village sits. The Elephant Hill fire is the biggest of all the fires firefighters have been dealing with this summer and it just wont quit. It is comforting to know that so far everyone is safe and the town has been protected thus far.

I am starting to get itchy feet however and have started organizing my office and writing tasks. I'm ready to get back at it. Some changes have come my way in regards to my publishing status and I'm excited at the possibilities ahead.

Off to pick up the grandkids for a week of fun. We're taking them to Long Beach on the west side of the Island. I'll be back soon to start up my writing career. Cheers to you all.

KEEP ON KEEPING ON WRITING!

WRITERLY WEDNESDAY FICTION PICTURE PROMPT - BY THE SEA

By The Sea

Kelly closed her computer, packed files into the box on her desk, and leaned back in her chair. She swivelled towards the left of her desk and stared at the full wall mural featured behind a sea green coloured couch. Fern trees flanked the sofa, centered on an oval rug with a cherry wood coffee table.

Her home office was her favourite place to sit and muse the seven months she lived and worked in the city.

The mural reminded her of New England—the sea, fish, waves, sea grasses, and snails.

Tomorrow, she was driving to Old Orchard Beach, Maine to her summer home. Five months of writing, visiting friends, sea food and walking miles along the sandy beach.

Kelly rose and stood in front of the mural. She smiled.

Thanks for keeping me sane until I return to my happy place by the sea.
