Today we are going to play a game.  It’s called, “Where would you rather be?”  It’s very simple. You just comment (or email me) with the name of the place (and the activity if you keep it PG-13) of where you would rather be and what you would rather be doing.

This is really a test. If you can’t think of anything or anywhere off the top of your head then you are in the right place and doing the right thing for your life at this moment. Well done! If you start making typos left and right because you can’t get the names of places and activities out fast enough—well, you might not be doing what you most want to be doing.

Of course, I tend to concentrate more while basking in gloom rather than basking in sun-kissed waves (rather bad sign for a writing career in Los Angeles, I suppose), so Bali might have to wait for a bit. Perhaps, a trip to Bali for the second book could be in order.

Now you…
