Blank Sheet of Paper

We're done with Hershey. Mr. L covered it in two days (that's about 12-15 miles of walking for him) with only a couple of times I needed to haul stuff back to the truck. He didn't find a lot at Hershey, but what he did find was quality stuff. The plan we began last year continued successfully this year.  I go to a designated area and work on writing while he hikes the swap meet.  When necessary, I haul stuff back to the truck or move to the next location. I got a lot of work done Wednesday and Thursday in beautiful, cool weather. Today (Friday) we hung out in the room, and I am getting some type-in work done on Polar Bear on the Loose. I'm up to page 162 of 330 pages (It won't be that many when I'm finished -- I printed it sideways on a regular size sheet in two columns. I did my hand-written revisions that way, too).

Mr. L extended our stay in New Cumberland by an extra day, so, thankfully, we don't have to pack up and move twenty miles away. He made reservations for next year for the same timeframe. I'll do laundry either tonight or tomorrow in preparation for the trip home.

I signed up for Gwen Hernandez's Scrivener II class that begins next week.  I had planned to review the lessons from the first class, but I don't seem to have them all with me.  I must have saved them to the Mini and didn't get them put on Dropbox.  That means I may have to go to the old Time Machine back up of the Mini to find them when I get home.  By that time, this new class will be half way done.  I guess I'll have to hope I retained more of the information from the first class than I fear I may have.  I also plan to take her compiling course in December.

Adding the related links plug in to Word Press does seem to help people check out other posts on my site.  I've been looking for ways to increase engagement.  That tip seems to have helped incrementally.

For the week ahead:

• Continue thinking about Granite Hill and working on laying out the first book in the series.
• Continue typing in PBOTL
• Work the Scrivener II lessons
• Drive safely on the trip home
• Survive these horrible motel beds
• Plan a cardio routine to begin after we get home
• Continue planning and refining life -- so much to do; so little time
