Hello Friends:
Summer is over, so the distraction of kids in the house is also over. I knew better than to fight it, and gave myself a break from writing while school was out. School is back in, and while I may not have sat down to type out more story I have been quite busy.
In a few weeks I fly to Barcelona, where the story takes place. I MUST do research, so I have committed myself to doing intensive research in Barcelona for 2 weeks. (I feel your sympathy from a far, so thank you.)
While there, I plan on searching out the haunts that Cecelia goes to, the events that come into play like the Fire Run, and living daily life in this magnificent city. I have been trying to learn some Spanish in the last few month, and know enough now to find the bathroom, order some food, and tell my niece, who is coming with me, that she gets to pay for things. She is fluent in Spanish so I can tell her both in English and Spanish.
I will also take the time to write while I’m there. I don’t know what that will look like other than I want to take some written snap-shots of Barcelona and the people. I will try to post a few times while I’m away.
Thank you for being on the journey with me. Your reading and feedback are very helpful to me.
