Today, I did something that I haven’t for quite a while. I headed out on a road trip. A writer buddy of mine lives out in Tyler, which is about two hours east of Plano, and I drove out there to have lunch with her, hang out, play with her cats, and talk writing.

Despite the construction hell that is I-635 and every truck in Texas picking today to travel eastbound on I-20, I needed this. I’ve been doing nothing but writing or cleaning this month and I kinda needed a chance to let some fresh air through my mind and decompress my subconscious. Also, we went shopping and I bought some really smenty wax melts, which is always fun.

Even better, we may be able to get her back into my writing group (she was one of the founding members) since they’re virtual these days and she has Zoom. I’ve pinged the group leader to extend an invite, and I really hope she joins us next Tuesday.
