Home, Sweet Home

Life:
We arrived home last night after a two-week vacation. It was a working vacation, but still. I feel that two weeks is too long to be away. I missed my dogs, my bed, my morning coffee on the back deck… all the things. I don’t mind travel, even for work, but I’m always happy to come home. I didn’t always feel this way. I used to wander all over the place and was famous for taking off for faraway places without a passing thought to an itinerary. So I guess people do change.
Writing:
What is it about the last 10-15 thousand words of a novel that is so freaking hard? It should be the easiest. Plot momentum is strong. The turning point is imminent. Tension is through the roof. Why can’t I nail the climax? It’s the most frustrating kind of writer’s block, because it’s not a question of direction. I know where the story’s going. I know it down to the last detail. I simply can’t write it to my satisfaction.
Every. Single. Time.
Favorite breakfast on vacation!
