beach time

June 8, 2016 By Talya Tate Boerner 5 Comments

beach time

It’s been too longย since I’veย walked in sand, but I did just that on Monday. And Tuesday. I’m in Floridaย for three book events (!), and my primary goal (other than the book events) is to accomplish some writing. So far I’ve done a decent job of it. I wrote lots of words for several hours while tropical storm Colin moved over. But thenย the rain stopped and the air felt fresh and clean and the clouds parted and, well, I headedย to the beach.

Turns out, Laguna Beach is a hop, skip, and a jumpย from my cute little beach house.

Writing time or beach time?

It’sย not every day I can hear the crashing surfย and search for seashells and read a good book on the beach.

Right?

Who goes to the beach to write, anyway?

Silly people.

Of course, technically I was working. Reading is required for writers…

Beach time reading.

And researching.

You never know when Gracie Lee might go to the beach.

I made some reader friends.

And some feathered friends.

It’s a pretty nice gig.
