Sue is up at Roseville (about 5 hour drive from the valley), so I haven't seen her all week. She's having drinks with her friends. She's usually the only reason I leave the house as much as I do (besides leaving in the morning to work out with Emory), so it's been pretty quiet. I'm getting so much writing done and a lot of doom scrolling.
Emory and I made plans to go to Sedona, Arizona, with our friends in a few months. The little cabin that we're staying at is not too far from Slide Rock. It's so pretty there, and it's hard to explain Slide Rock. It's this area that people go to swim at, but the natural rocks are smooth, and you can actually use them as slides. I enjoyed it a lot as a child, but even in the summer, the water is freezing, but then again, it's Arizona.... we're used to it being burning hot and our pool water to be as warm as bath water.
Sedona, Arizona, is known for its vortexes. I'm so excited to explore. Emory and I hiked Devil's Bridge, and I don't think I could do that again. It's probably not the scariest climb in the world, but it is for someone who is afraid of heights. I'm hoping to find more awesome hikes and some crystal/incense shops.
I just spoke with Ann, and she's going on a 3-week vacation! I couldn't imagine being gone from the house for three weeks. Her dog (baby) Ollie is going to be so incredibly sad. He's one of the smartest dogs I've ever had the pleasure of goofing around with. He knows exactly what you tell him. Mozart isn't that smart. You tell him "no more," and he begs even harder. Ollie just walks away if you tell him "no mas." So he's a bilingual doggie!
I might start cleaning. I tried. It's boring. I'd rather be writing.
Writing Update:
T.C. (finally named this, but it still feels like a placeholder): I'm stuck. I wrote about 1200 words on chapter 5, but I changed one of my alpha's job roles, so I am stuck.
B.W. (need to change the title because Emory thinks it's too dark): based off a real life situation, I can see why the concept might be dark. I worked on the first chapter. I've been putting this off. Do I start with the character's death? Do I start somewhere else? I want to start after the "situation" so I was stuck. I tried writing the "before" and it feels like this might be too long. I'm now writing from the start of the death scene and I like it better.
But alas! I'm not working on the projects I need to be working on! So I might need to slow my roll and get back into my listed projects for this year.
