Breathe. Just Breathe.

Like the song, I took a couple of weeks to breathe.

I didn't know I needed a break, but Live In Handyman (currently aka Mr. Wise and Wonderful) knew that I did.

Mr. W&W also knows I love surprises. When I wrote the Unplugged post a couple of weeks ago, I didn't know where we were going - just that we were going. On the morning I had to pack, he told me we were going to Galveston Island. On Wednesday I'll talk about our trip a little more and include some photos.

By the time we returned, I was totally relaxed. That's when I knew I'd been a little uptight before we left.

I unplugged from blogging and from all my writing lists and groups. I'd never done that before, always spending an hour or so each day of other vacations trying to keep up. OMG! What a difference it made to totally unplug. I'll definitely do it again.

Now it's rock n' roll time. This week, it's back to basics. Back to my writing schedule. Back to putting a little sheen on the manuscript. My goal is to have it ready for an editor in June. I'm still on track.

How about you?

What have you done exciting the past two weeks?

How are you doing on keeping your writing goals?

Are you hard at work or hardly working?

I'm thrilled to be back among the writing. I missed all of you.

Here's a teaser :)
