ostarellaWell, I've posted Chapter Five of "Covenant" to both my fanfic website and FF.net. Have to send it to the archives yet. Nothing like full coverage, right? LOL Now trying to work out the remaining glitches on Chapter Six, but Chapter Seven is finished, ready to be posted after I get done with Six. BIG thanks to both JFM and Billy for their help and input.
Then, back to Chapter Eight, which is turning out a little bit on the dark side - another little experiment, based on building up to the Ruckus crossover. Now *that's* going to be fun to write <EG>
Starting to get my enthusiasm back for writing now - figures, since I've started back to work again. I drive a fork truck, and handle the shipping department on third shift, usually a week at the end of each month, and then anywhere from 4-6 weeks at the end of each quarter. Every week I work is one month's expenses paid, so I like that. I don't like driving in the winter, especially at night (I have to be at work at 10:30PM). I'm thinking of getting a full time job the end of February/early March, and then working until fall. Then I can take the whole winter off. Maybe go down to the Gulf of Mexico and be a beach bum - literally. I've heard there are places down there where you pay a miniscule annual fee, and you can "camp out" on the beach as long as you move every few days. Other places you can stay a few days, then have to leave for 2-3 weeks before coming back. That would be okay, too - I could travel around the southern states and then come back. Whatever. I just know I don't want to spend another winter in Minnesota. ;-)

Having just come on out of the freezing cold (probably nothing as scary as Minnesota though) I'm finding the idea of being a "beach bum" someplace warm very appealing!
You sound a bit like my cousin Katherine. She likes to work for a few month, living very simply, saving up most of her money, and then go off travelling for months to far flung places.
Personally I'm a boring old homebody. :D

I think I've always been a "gypsy" at heart ;-) But after being a single parent, and then caregiver first for my dad and then my mom, and then suddenly being none of the above, there didn't seem to be much reason to maintain a "normal" life. I've done more traveling in the last three years than I had in my whole life - driving everywhere, sleeping in the backseat at rest stops, eating at the small, out of the way family-owned cafes, yakking away with the locals about the weather and traveling - it's just great. I haven't gone anywhere for almost a year now, and I sooooo miss it.

But I've never been able to just up root and live out of a suitcase (or a very small rucksack) for a year. I'm a boring homebody too. I like my roots. I think the closest I came to *travelling* was when we went to New Zealand for 5 weeks and travelled the North and South Island. Admittedly, I could have been out there for months ;o(
on another note... I'm too very interested to see how Ruckus comes into play with Covenant. I keep on imaging Dirk all dirty and rough one minute, and then coming out of that shower all cleaned up ::sigh::
