Hi everyone!
What are your plans for the summer?
Most people think of Summer as the time to travel, but I plan to spend my summer writing. I’ve done my character thumbnail studies, considered their ever-important motivations, drummed up loads of conflict, and torn my hair out writing the dang two-page single spaced synopsis. Now I’m looking for pictures to create my collage. I love to have a huge poster board loaded with photographs to jog my mind and reinforce my visuals while I’m writing. I know many authors love to write with music in the background, but I prefer silence – I keep the music in my head, if you will. Though I am skilled at multitasking, my senses get overloaded too easily and I wind up being distracted by a beautiful musical phrase or someone’s fantastic voice, or extra poignant lyrics … well you catch my drift. I have enough problems keeping those character voices in my head under control, so I like to work quietly. But once I’m done writing for the day? I dance! J
I have a lot of goals for the next two months – 50,000 words worth! But I’ll be rewarded with a trip back east to Massachusetts and Maine to visit family in August. I hope you’ve all made plans for some time for fun this summer. I know with the current economy many people are planning Stay-cations, and I think that’s a fantastic idea! There is so much to do wherever you live, even if it’s a picnic in the park or a day of hiking and taking pictures of gorgeous rocks! Don’t forget to break up your regular routine with excursions to new places from time to time. It’s great for your creative soul!
And I hope you will all make time to read Mills and Boon Romances!
So tell me, what are your plans for the summer? Chime in.

Fashion Designer bags can be any size and any color. Simple, elegant, or

Marmaris sits on a coastline they call The Turquoise Coast, but is at the same time, surrounded by lush green mountains....breathtaking! Large bustling, modern town infused with history - marriage of old and new if you like......and yeah.....loads of inspiration!

Hey Nancy! Your summer sounds busy! Have a great time at the folk music festival. I love acoustic music.
Mavis! How interesting to travel to Turkey. I'd love to know about your plans. Do you have relatives there? Or are you an adventurous sort? And, of course!, it's all about research.
I could list a thousand places I'd love to travel to do "research"
Bon Voyage!
Far Away-cation!
I'm heading to Turkey and Rhodes five weeks from now - all in the name of research, of course!
Summer Stay-cation plans
Our summer starts with a graduation from high school (youngest dd) and a folk music festival--both in the same weekend. Then a few weeks off, back to work for another six weeks and then three weeks off. The end of summer the youngest dd goes off to college! I'm grabbing some reading and writing time somewhere in there.
