Cruising and Writing – Fun Features
As people learned in the Seven Things Others May Not Know about my writing life, I need absolute quiet to work. Sometimes I'll float in the pool and come inside all ready to write the great ideas that came to mind and… the plumber shows up – Dick tossed a whole container of meatballs left over from party last week down the toilet and it clogged – then the cleaning gals and in no time it's bedlam.
A wonderful answer to this is a cruise! First we packed up my tiny car with all our luggage. The cruise stopped off at the Eastern & Western Caribbean: Puerto Rico, St. Marten, St. Kitt, Grand Cayman, Jamaica, Haiti, etc. All fun places but we have done this a number of times before so I spent most of my time… working!
My new novel is set around the time period of World War II. After the cruise I reached 25,000 words.
Of course now that we're back I have a GIANT suitcase filled with nothing but laundry!
Love cruises….but unlike you – I read not write. lol Give me a lounge chair, a good book (yours) and a glass of wine….usually read 3 books during a 7 day cruise…great to unwind and get away from all the electronics. Looking forward to your next book.
After you get done with all your chores after vacation you need another vacation, lol. Looking forward to your next book
