Back from Arizona
I'm back from a weekend trip to Arizona where I was attending a wedding. Nice one too, performed at sunset on the side of one of the mountains that surround Tuscon where I was.
I suppose if you want romantic.. that would do it! Though the poor DJ for the wedding had a real tough room to work with. Some people would dance for the slower songs but anything really jazzy got no reaction! He tried to stir people up to give toasts... but no dice. This crowd was just not willing. Like I said, poor guy. He really earned his money, worked hard even if he didn't get much reaction.
On another note, the geography there is amazing! Not sure how long I spent staring at the mountains while in the car or just when I'd step outside the hotel. I can see why so many Western authors visit or have visited there. Just looking up at the landscape stirs the imagination. A weekend was surely not enough, though. I saw several things about Tuscon alone I'd like to see ( not sure who'd want to hike along with me though! ) like several of the canyons there, Colossal Cave, and so on. I'm not sure when, but I'm going back, that is for sure and for certain!
But sadly, today is back to the day job. The mad rush to mega bucks... well mega bucks for the company. The project is due at the end of the month, I'll get it there.
On a good side, I've about gotten Chapt 1-3 of Kinloch 2 rewritten and back in the direction I wanted! For me, I can always tell when I get a story back on track for what I had in mind; it flows as evenly as water slowly pouring from a cup. Next step will be to polish my grammer and structure a bit to make sure I'm conveying the story well across this first portion of the story. Maybe develop out some minor plot points.
