Right now I don’t feel like a real writer. Maybe its because I haven’t been writing for a number of weeks and I have a big deadline bearing down on me. It will be good to get back to my desk in January. I’ll probably have a lot fewer pep talks with myself when […]

30 Days of Summer Left!
I don’t know when your kids go back to school, but mine head back in just a little over a month, with Jake returning to Bellevue High water polo practices on August 22nd. Can’t believe the summer is half way over…I love summer vacation, love spending my summers in Hawaii, too. I’m not as […]
Summertime
Just returned from airport and putting son Ty on a flight back to Seattle and am now sitting down at desk to recreate the 17 lost pages that were my final chapter of book that I cut and meant to paste, but failed ot paste before pasting new pages over. I was so bummed Sunday […]
Mountains to Sea
After five days in Whistler on a writer’s retreat I came home for a day and now I fly out tonight for Hawaii to join my two Gurney guys there. I’m really looking forward to getting some sun and swimming in the ocean and just soaking up Hawaii’s beauty. I need it after the hectic […]
Heading into Spring Break
Ty flew with us back to Seattle on Monday, and now tomorrow he returns to Hawaii to get back to work. We won’t see him until late March as he’s got to be in Waikiki for Spring Break and it’s going to be a tough month without him. Mac and I have kind of gotten […]
Ah, Deep Breath Now…
Book is in. Ahhhhh. Dang that was hard. Start to finish. Probably didn’t help that I wrote it in 3 weeks, meant my days were just way too long and by this last week I was writing 10-12 hours a day and a chapter and a half a day. Yesterday was 34 pages. The day […]
Back to the Mainland
We leave in the morning on the 9 am flight back to Seattle. I’d thought I’d write today but instead I’ve spent my time cleaning, sorting, paying bills, and packing. I’ll be back in 6 weeks or so for our mid winter break but its still hard to leave. Everything in Hawaii is so much […]
Brothers
Mac is beyond delighted having his two big brothers here in Hawaii with him. He loves his brothers and can’t keep away from them. The good thing is that the two bulldogs now have a reprieve. The bad thing is the brothers are Mac’s favorite activity. Fortunately, the boys had a great day on the […]
Surfing Saturday
This is going to be a super short post as I’m getting ready to head to the beach with my friend Anne who is going to take a surf lesson from Ty. I’m going, too, and taking out a big soft top as it’s been two years since I last surfed and my confidence is […]
Waikiki Waves
One of my best friends from high school, Anne Morse, just arrived with her family in Hawaii for the next week. They’re out sight-seeing today and I’m taking care of family stuff but tonight we all hope to grab dinner in Waikiki together. I haven’t gotten any writing done since end of last week which […]
