No writing today (as expected), and I doubt that there would be any typing up, either. I had a crafty day (see my own journal), and then it got too hot for any coordinated brain functions: 38°C, apparently. I live in a ten-storey concrete monstrosity with no air conditioning. The walls are just one step from glowing. We've switched to pure survival mode.
Like you, I'm waiting for the fall cool-off which is at least seven weeks away. Best of luck to you surviving August. Once I have my Hubby back at work (he's a college professor who has his summers off) and it's cooled off, I'll be better able to do some serious writing. As for right now, day-dreaming is about the limit.... :^)
I'm very good at daydreaming. *g* I came up with the idea of a story during a long bus ride across France; I kept a small notebook on me and jotted down the ideas whenever we had a break. After the end of the 11-day package holiday I had the notebook half full!
That's wonderful! One of my favorite movies started out pretty much the same way: On a romantic tour of Tuscany, Italy. The name of the movie is “Under the Tuscan Sun”. It's my favorite plot line/theme too: People having to start over--having to re-invent themselves--after something ruined their past lives. Have you come up with a plot line/theme yet or are there more than one? :^)
