Hello and I missed writing to you last week, I really did,

I’m back from vacation, of course somewhat regretfully; and I did write while on vay-k. I spent—a lifetime it seems—standing in lines at Disney World waiting to catch a glimpse of Mickey Mouse and at Universal Studios waiting to be terrified during the Revenge of the Mummy thrill ride. So to pass the time I was lucky enough to write, I took a notebook along just for that purpose.

I was able to finish an outline for You Don’t Know Me while shuffling forward at baby steps. I was also able to write a few pages for the new Owen Story novel: Begin at the End, while I stood still in an endless line of bodies and sweated in the Florida heat. I was happy and surprised I got something completed it made all that waiting and sweating worth it though the rides were good too.

So I did have a great time with my family, a lot of fun with my kids. I saw a number of awesome sites, I ate a massive amount of great food, I met some nice people from not only around the country but from around the world and I wrote. No one could have had a better vacation than I did and oh, how I miss it.

If you have any comments or suggestions please e-mail me at my new address: shabazzl@adasbcc.org.

Until next time, God willing,

Lori
