Sometimes its just the surroundings
Posted By ron on October 9, 2006
Spent the morning working on the wrap for a project called November Romeo (no, it’s not a romance, nor chick-lit), in idyllic surroundings. Wireless laptop, enormous overstuffed leather chair, fireplace, and a fantastic view of the Squaw Valley ski area. No snow yet, temps still in the 50s and 60s during daylight hours. The plane flight yesterday provided an opportunity to revisit some of the details of the book, make sure everything still seemed in order. Might put a tension tightener in or two, might not. It’s feeling pretty good as it is.
For some reason, to me writing always seems easier in a fantastically beautiful environment… even when not writing about beautiful things. There seems to be a plethora of creative energy beams that come from the rocks and trees bouncing around in boundless excitement. Much better than the old desk at home. (Although the desk at home has a panoramic view of the Colorado Rockies… when I stand on my tiptoes to look over the houses across the street.)
Squaw Valley reminds me of another favorite place that’s a little close to home… Vail. Vail has a hotel we love, that happens to be owned by the same company as the one I sit in now in Squaw Creek. Wow! (As my character Andrea Bellows so often says). What a way to get motivated. Lots of stuff in the news today…. I need to think about how Em Gideon, Constance Joiner, Perseus Cade and some of the other Solace Creek newsmakers might react. Likely post an article or two in the Solace Creek Colorado media in the next day or two.
take care for now… ttfn
