Home from my weekend visit to my mother. It is her birthday today and we had a nice visit. C graceously stayed home with the pre-schooler and I got more sleep than I often get over the week.
We also got a chance to take the Max in and make the pilgrimmage to Powell's. I could live in that bookstore, I swear! We spent several hours there and I completely skipped some areas when my feet started to hurt. I was also limited by just what I could carry on the Max so I couldn't indulge my book collector self TOO much :)
Despite my best intentions, I got absolutely no writing done while I was there. I did get a few pieces critiqued for my crit group but nothing done on my WIP.
On the drive home (about 2.5 hours) I had some interestind new ideas for stories. In case anyone is interested, it's not the best idea to try to scrawl down the ideas while driving. I ended up pulling off at a McDonald's and getting a soda so I could write down the ideas without endangering myself or others.
But home now, just have to get moving again on my writing....

I always get ideas when I'm traveling too. Something about being "elsewhere" inspires. Maybe because at home I see the same 4 walls so to speak. LOL.
