I’m stepping away from AnyShinyThing for a few weeks to finish the sequel to Dakota Blues. Its working title is Key Largo Blues (because guess why.) Thanks for understanding. I will miss you, too, and look forward to visiting again in mid-December. Happy Thanksgiving!
Pat says
Oh Lynne I am looking forward to reading your next “Blues” book. Happy writing!
Lynne Spreen says
Thanks, Pat!
Judy Scognamillo says
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and many blessings to you and your family.
Lynne Spreen says
Thank you, Judy. The same to you and your family!
Sue Shoemaker says
“I’ll catch you on the flip side!”
Happy Thanksgiving!
Sue
Nicky Rodriguez says
I can’t wait to read it!
Lynne Spreen says
Thanks, Nicky. 90% of the reason I tell you my plans is because then I have to deliver! Way to keep me on task.
Still the Lucky Few says
You will be missed, Lynne! But it’s a good choice, since writing books seems such a powerful draw for you. Obviously it’s your passion! Will very much look forward to your arrival back on this page.
Lynne Spreen says
Thanks, Diane. I snuck away from writing just now to check my email, and saw your comment. You are right. I am passionate about writing. I LOVE my friendships and the sense of community online, because without you and them, what would be the point of writing?
And yet, when I slip into my story, I can lose track of whether it’s AM or PM, where Bill is, what I’m supposed to be doing, if I’ve missed an appointment or meal or — I just lose my bearings. Just now I was “in” Georgia, at Jekyll Island, golfing. I had the YouTube clip of birdsong going while I was typing. I’m basing this on the memory of a recent trip with Bill. While there, we saw the most amazing bird. It was iridescent blue, metallic like a hummingbird! One encyclopedia says the bird “looks like a scrap of sky with wings.” I thought I was hallucinating, but I looked it up, and it’s an Indigo Bunting. Isn’t that a great name? Here’s a link, although it doesn’t capture the metallic gleam of the feathers, the song is beautiful: https://youtu.be/JJTaV95E9Qg
