Seaside Breaks

I have been spending a lot of time at Half Moon Bay recently, there's something about watching the ocean that's strangely calming, accentuated by Luka and his friends frantic actions, digging, running around the shore and jumping into the ocean even if it is minus shouldn't-be-alive-degrees.

Watching kids be kids with no clean up involved is heaven, especially with good company! The first time, my friend, Jenni, took us to this totally cool restaurant at a mini airport. This Sunday another friend told me about the sand dollars she finds here and there they were right at our feet! Amazing.

They always look to me like someone came along and wistfully sketched in the markings.

In-between weekend beach dates I've been writing hard. It's all coming together, yay! In fact I'm so motivated that I am actually going to write a new novel in November, while this draft of Black Out, breathes in a draw somewhere. 'Course that's as long as I get this draft finished by Oct 31st.

Who's with me?Lia Keyes for one, she has a brilliant website: www.liakeyes.com with loads of useful writer tips plus links to Plot Whisperer and Story Fix Nail your NaNoWrMo! and.... no really you have to go check out Lia's site!

MONEYBALL



Last summer Luka and I decided to tick 'make a movie with Brad Pitt' off our bucket list and were extra's in MONEYBALL! Yes, seriously, see if you can spot us in the blurred crowd! (I'm wearing a red jacket, Luka has violently blond hair!) It was super fun and we did get to see Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and their kids, as well as Philip Seymor Hoffman, Johna Hill and Robin Wright. We went to see it of course, didn't spot ourselves as we got too involved watching the movie!
