President’s Day weekend provides the perfect opportunity to leave NYC in search of a winter wonderland. For our winter adventures, we hopped in the car and headed north to Vermont for a week of skiing, snowshoeing, and of course writing by the fire.
I could easily grant myself a reprieve from my writing schedule given that it is a national holiday, yet in all honestly I am dying to know what will happen next. I have a plan and a detailed outline, but until the words are on the page I am not precisely sure how everything will play out. What if my rakish hero decides at the last minute that he simply cannot seduce an innocent well-bred young lady even if his endgame is marriage?
However, Puma, my Burmese cat and sometimes writing partner, has completely abandoned our current work in progress to frolic in the snow. There is a certain sparkle in her big blue eyes as she races past the laptop eager to explore the great outdoors (a rare treat for an NYC cat). By evening, when I am curled up by the fire contemplating various plot points, Puma is asleep, far too exhausted from her adventures to participate in the writing process.
Puma and I would both love to take a break from our respective winter activities to read about your President’s Day adventures.
Sarah,
I’m a fellow Beau Monde member. Your Burmese reminds me of Octavian, my champagne mink Tonkinese cat and the biggest trouble-maker in the world. He’s on the home page of my web site: http://www.christinetrent.com, along with my striped tabby, Caesar, and Claudia, a Bengal.
Welcome to the Beau Monde!
Christine
Sarah,
Glad your trip to New England was nicer this time around. I’m also a skier, but the weather has not been cooperative. It feels like Spring. Leaving for northern New Hampshire tomorrow for one week (work). I’ll bring my skis anyway, and hope for snow. Interesting Puma likes snow. My cat, Callie, would never allow her paws to touch snow. Oh, the horror!
Take care,
Tanya
