A book in progress reminds me of a fussy baby. It’s endlessly demanding, exhausting, all-consuming. For your own sanity, you have to step away sometimes and just let it . . . be. But not for too long. Fussy babies need tending. And excitement. Reposting this from @junxtaposition. #amwriting #beachbooks #summer2020

Getting ready to switch over from beachy blue & white to fall/Halloween here at Squirrel Hollow. Good thing I took lots of photos to remind me how I did things last year. Now if I can just remember where I stashed my stash! #itsfallyall #squirrelhollow #halloweenhijinks #halloweenhoarder

Today, my hairdresser @dougstalnaker casually asks if I was ever into @theavengers_steed_and_peel. Of course, I hyperventilated about how ultra-cool Mrs. Peel and her rocking catsuits were. So he GAVE me the DVD set, which is called Every Emma Episode Ever. And now I can dissolve into ‘60s London. But prob not a catsuit. Pretty sure I aged out loooong ago. #swingingsixties #mrsemmapeel #dianarigg #waybackmachine

I told myself that if I went to an estate sale I have to write at least 1k words today. This blue & white covered bowl is old, I think. It came from a fancy house on a fancy street in Buckhead, which is a very fancy Atlanta neighborhood. Whoever repaired the smashed lid must have been blind. Or drunk. Or both. But it was half-off day, which meant this was $12.50. So as-is works for me. #estatesalefinds #blueandwhiteforever #hoarderissues #amwriting

Leaving Tybee. Never easy. But I had four solid days of writing, one small plotting breakthrough and four splendid sunrises. Like this one. I also met our Tybee priest, Father Jerry at the walkover this morning. Til next week, Tybee! #sunrisetybeeisland #ebbtidetybeeisland #southernsunrise #amwriting #beachbooks #summer2020

Thursday’s child has far to go, according to the nursery rhyme. And so does this book. I slept in a little this morning, but still managed to catch a few frames—along with lots of pelicans. This morning’s light was more diffused at low tide. Can you tell I’ve “fallen” for Tybee in August? #sunrisetybeeisland #autumnsunrise #ebbtidetybeeisland #visittybee #tybeevacationrentals #beachbooks

On Wednesdays we wear pink. And fiery orange. Happy Hump Day from Tybee Island. Yesterday I “might” have solved a plot problem. And I definitely wrote 2200 words. #amwriting #beachbooks #summer2020 #tybeesunrise #visittybee #ebbtidetybeeisland #tybeevacationrentals #fallatthebeach
