Not that the 4th was an actual not-working holiday weekend, but we seem to get twice as much Monday afterwards anyway. Is that fair? I think not.

We did do a holiday weekend Fort to Sea trail trek, which was beautiful. If you get a chance to hit the North Oregon coast with your hiking shoes, you get to see a lot of very different terrain as you go from forest to dunes to beach. The trail is probably the best-maintained we’ve ever seen, and it’s an easy walk for all fitness levels with benches to stop and rest on along the way.

There are also 2 geocaches on the way, with a 3rd that requires 2 liters of water to make the cache float up to retrieve. Fun stuff.

Other than that, writing away. Consistency does make the work march along towards "finished". Works in progress: finishing revision of novella for EC, finishing revision of novel, and writing Red Queen to follow up Animal Attraction. The novel revision keeps giving me the missing pieces, and Red Queen is just a crack attack. The EC novella is making me happy now, too. It’s a difficult story, but I knew it would be back when I first hatched the idea. Wlel, if it was easy, it wouldn’t be fun, right?
