Is an sf/f fan (fen) word: Getting Away From It All. I often advise taking a laptop (or pen and paper) to another location if stuck, or if you can't get into writing. Well, I finally followed my own advice Monday night. A big draw was the fact that I'd finished my daily wordcount by early afternoon, and the local coffee house had live Blues. Hard to beat that!

So off I went, with laptop, just to work a little, if I wanted, on one of my upcoming proposals. No pressure. I got the first scene completely done and pretty well polished and a solid start on the second scene.

The walk to the coffee house was very cold (and very short), but refreshing. The whole night was refreshing. So I want to once again advise a break from the home office and take the writing somewhere else. Since the weather is turning cold and my heating bill was outrageous (and I've been d**n good!) I may start trolling the libraries.

May new surroundings give you new inspiration.
