Sorry that it has been a while since I blogged or posted. Life and a busy summer has kept me from being as consistent on blog as usual. Monday was my birthday but I was too busy to blog even then. I was given a birthday present today in the discount of publication for my fourth book and second novel. Yeah! Great news that my fourth book is in production now with publishers. I’ve been working on manuscript all summer to get it ready to submit to publishers. Problem is – you are never ready when it comes to publishing. I spent a bit longer on this book than others in the past. It took me four months to write completely. My thoughts came in spurts this time. I added and increased my content to book gradually. The name of this fictional novel is Wounded Heart In Flight. It is about 250 pages long with 26 chapters. It has a Prologue and an Epilogue also. The chapters are shorter for easier reading. I’ve also shorten the paragraphs as the new “Vogue” in writing. It should be completed in two to three weeks with publishers and then to editorial assessment for same length. I hope to have it released by the end of the summer. Kudos and please have a toast for me! I have worked hard particularly on this last one. Have a great weekend and please everyone keep in touch. I will update as soon as the newest book is released.

Erika Kind challenged me to a Freestyle Writing Challenge. Thank you, Erika, for nominating me for this awesome challenge. This looked like a neat challenge and one I hadn’t participated in before. I have been under the weather so it took me a week to get back with this challenge. Erika did a wonderful job with her creative writing challenge. Please take a moment to look at her blog at https://erikakind.wordpress.com/.
The rules are:
  1. Open a blank document.
  2. Set a stop watch timer to 5 or 10 minutes, whichever length you prefer.
  3. Your topic is at the foot of this post BUT DO NOT SCROLL DOWN TO SEE IT UNTIL YOU ARE READY WITH YOUR TIMER!!!

My topic was:

My best vacation ever!
My best vacation was in the summer of 1993. I went to Europe with my husband (now ex-husband) and another couple, long-time friends of ours. We went to Germany first. It was wonderful. We stayed three weeks in all. Our plane landed in Frankfurt, Germany. There, we rented a car to explore several countries in Europe.
While in West Germany, we drove through Berlin and stayed near Kohn (Colgne).
While in East Germany we stayed in Bavaria. The old German cathedrals were magnificent. One I remembered was set in gold, a huge gold enlaced organ on top.
Then we visited Austria, Holland, France and Belgium near Luxembourg. We attended a street fair in Holland. They had some of the best beer I’ve tasted in the world, called Dante’s. Germany too had great beer and I’m not even a beer lover.
Our travels took us to Paris at the Eiffel Tower. We spent the night in Paris and traveled through the metro. The tower was so tall as you looked up, I thought I could reach the sky. You could walk up and then halfway take an elevator. 
While staying in Bavaria, we traveled by bus one day on a tour bus to Prague, Czechoslovakia. We took a boat ride. I remember the canals and graffiti written on the walls. The old city was still beautiful. The Berlin Wall had been torn down not too long back. We shopped for crystal.
In most of the countries, I shopped for clothes and got to see so many old sights. We saw Brussels in Austria at Mozart’s old home. There were so many amazing and spectacular sights and places of scenery. We visited the Rhine River, departing three ways in Germany. What a wonderful sight! We were close to the Alps, about 50 miles from Switzerland. We didn’t quite make it on that trip. What a memorable vacation I will never forget!
Word Count: 318
Minutes: 10 Minutes
Not the best score or impressionable but at least I spelled everything correctly (I think).
