Today's Moment of Zen

For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, I've missed my last few blog posts. My apologies. I'll post the next entry in the web design series soon.

In the meantime, here are a couple of pictures to ease you into your weekend. They're from a recent trip to the always beautiful Carmel, California. Enjoy!

The first picture was taken along Highway 1, somewhere between Carmel-by-the-Sea and Big Sur.

The next picture was taken on the shoreline walking path between Monterey and Pacific Grove.

Today's Moment of Zen

Milford Sound, New Zealand, 2009 (click image for larger version)

I was going to write a post about the struggles I'm having with my current book, but I decided to share a picture of one of the most beautiful places on earth I've ever had the privilege to visit instead. The photo was taken in February of 2009 very early in the morning.

As for the book...I have the characters and the conflict, but the world just won't come together in the way it needs to in order to be believable. The decision I think I've come to is to give it another week and then put it on the back burner and move on. I know there's a book here, but perhaps I'm not ready to write it yet. Very frustrating.

Have you wrestled with a story, only to set it aside for another time? If so, did you ever go back and write it? Please share!
