And now, I'm headed from my hotel room in Miami to a "meet & greet" with some writing buddies downstairs. Tomorrow we leave on a 5-day cruise and I'm looking forward to some relaxing time with friends, (hopefully) beautiful weather, and writing on a deck somewhere, ocean breeze in my face. I'll be sure and post pics soon!
