I know, I know! I haven’t been writing much on my blog lately, but believe me it’s not because I haven’t been writing. Just the opposite! Yesterday I wrote 30 pages, yep, 30 pages of a novel that I’m writing. I’ve had this idea in my head for quite some time and when the story started developing and entering into my dreams, I thought I should write it. Then each morning I’d wake up thinking about it and I knew it was time to start writing.
I can’t help but be inspired with the beautiful view that I have from “my office” so to speak. I’ve got more than one third finished. At the rate I’m going I should have it written by the end of August and then of course comes the rewrites. I don’t know about other writers out there, but rather than just zooming ahead, I’ve been going back to the chapters that are already done and rewriting them. Then when I get inspired, I continue with a new chapter.
Actually, I wrote the end first. I began with the last two chapters and then jumped to the first three and then jumped once again to the middle of the story and wrote four more chapters. Sometimes I wonder if anyone else writes this way (?) but for me it seems to be working.
Maya Muses: Just some photos of us running around Paris and snapping photos from the car. Patrick drives like all the other Parisians, but even though I should be getting my French license soon, I don’t think I’ll be taking to the road anytime soon!
The Métro and buses work just fine for me!

I know but when you drive in Paris You have to drive like the others maniacs…..Otherwise you are going nowhere and sometime i have a cold sweat in my back….sometime I pray God to have enough room between cars.
