All Work and No Play...sort of

Sometimes the life of a writer can be very solitary and lonely as you live in a world that no one else knows about until your work is published and shared. Creating the scenes and the setting are all unique to the writer and the writer's experiences. That's why I'm a firm advocate of research and having many life experiences. Not only does it make a life richer and fuller, if you're a writer it can fuel your muse. Something I discovered yesterday, enjoying a fabulous tour of a winery in Hood River, Oregon with my husband. Not only was the behind the scenes tour amazing and educational, the wine was fabulous and I was inspired. So, just a little head's up to all you awaiting the next book, we're going to Oregon's wine country....

Me out among the vines.

Getting set up with some fabulous wine selections and crackling fire in the background. Oh, and a fabulous day out with my husband.
