Number 20 “in the can”
It took a veritable hurricane of writing, but I’ve finished up my drafts on my 20th book, “North Florida: An Explorer’s Guide.” There’s nothing odder than reading the promo copy for your book online when you’re in the midst of writing it. My health hasn’t been up to par and I’ve let a lot slide, including deadlines. Glad to have this done. North Florida and the Florida Panhandle are my favorite places to hang out. Heck, I work there, and Rob and I honeymooned there. If you haven’t spent time checking out North Florida, I suggest you do, but buy this book to help you find your way!
Deadlines loom
I am woefully behind on blogging and on keeping my Florida Hikes site up to date, thanks to a convergence of things. As the dark clouds gather yet again this afternoon and I sit here and stare out my window at them, they remind me of things undone. I have a book due, and I must finish writing it this weekend. I’ve been working on it since 7 AM, but the storms came through once and I shut down the computer when the lightning started and sat and finished reading another novel. It’s a tough way to push for deadline. Florida’s summer weather doesn’t cooperate. This is the part of writing that agonizes, the final push to make sure that everything’s in and everything’s right.

My trip to Isle Royale, one of America’s most remote National Parks, and to the Copper Country of Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula is currently chronicled at the Ocala Star Banner online.
