Apologies for such a delay in commentin...Hi Sharon,<br />Apologies for such a delay in commenting on your posting. I've been rather busy and also trying to finish reading a certain manuscript :)<br />Sometimes, adventures can be those that start as a glowing image in your mind. And indeed, the holidays of adventure can bring out the inquisitive nature that inspires your writing.<br />If we had a summer, I might have that adventure of the distant memory of something called a sunset as your lovely pictures convey. That's where my imagination comes in handy to remember a sunset.<br />Have a peaceful weekend, Sharon. I shall endeavour to respond to you know what, fairly soon.<br />In kindness and hugs, your way, Gary :)klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8449147139519589668.post-72229187515075295752012-07-12T22:22:08.396-05:002012-07-12T22:22:08.396-05:00Looks like you had a blast!

I will be having an adventure this summer.<br /><br />After listening to me whine about how nuts I was to set the climax of my WIP at a foreign, well-known location I have never visited in person, my husband said, "Okay then. Let's go."<br /><br />He and I are flying to Mexico City in August and driving from there to the ancient ruins of Teotihuacan where we will, among other things, climb to the top of the Sun Pyramid -- where my protagonists have to fight for their lives!
