| Colorado River, Parker Strip |
One of my favorite getaways is the Colorado River. Laughlin, Bullhead City, Parker, Parker Strip, Havasu. Needles? Not so much.

| Canyon De Chelly |
I've got a story brewing that takes place in part along the Grand Canyon and that's all I'm going to say, so it's a good reason to get some fall camping in out there. North Rim, or East Rim. Either way, on up to Moab maybe, Chinle, Durango. I can feel a road trip coming on.

| Tenaya Lake, Yosemite |
Couple of weeks ago I was up in Yosemite for only a day. The high country. Gorgeous isn't the word. Spectacular grandeur. Up on Tioga Pass Road, Lake Tenaya sparkled with deep blue water and steep granite scarred with centuries of glacier scraping. Tall timber towered over a small sandy beach, the granite faces rising above. Warm, clear, transcendent.

I'm getting some decent writing in these past few weeks. I'm pleased with what's coming out on this rough first draft. Get the story down, get it out, see what it can do.

If your pleased, that's a very good sign. I think overwhelming fear of being found lacking is a more common emotion of writers.
T-Check, oh I have those fears. I try to be non-judgmental about first draft, otherwise I'd quit.
Absolutely keep going. There are a lot of niches out there, and it takes a while for your audience to find you. What I find interesting is that things that were totally out of my scope of interest on first read, I now find engrossing.
