A Road Trip

There is something special, almost magical or mythical, about a road trip with a good buddy.

The quest was simple. feuxbos and Erica were getting married on 4th of July in Spokane.

Rob and I loaded the Kia Rondo and made the trip on Friday afternoon. insatia and Amanda drove to Spokane from Eastern Washington.

The trip was beautiful. It was Rob's first trip to Spokane. The heat was horrid, hotter than I remember. I went to college in Spokane and it was a fun trip back.

The hotel was crap. None of us managed to get any sleep. We barely managed to get out of bed.

The wedding was nice. But alas, it was hot, humid, and the trees wanted to murder us all. After the wedding, we had the option of hanging around or leaving for home.

We left for home.

Dylan and the Dream Pirates: Hitting the Wall

When a runner suddenly loses energy and can't continue, it is called hitting the wall.

I remember hitting that when I was a wrestler or ran track.

Writers also have a wall.

Writing is a trained discipline. It is a challenge that relies of faith, discipline, and willpower. Writers hit the wall on a project when they lose faith in a project or their own skills.

I hit the wall with Chapter Seven: Worthy.

I had two major issues. I had a real horrid image of the Tower of Bones, and I feel like I didn't quite capture the pure evil of it.

And then I felt like I wasn't making the duel horrible enough.

Hitting the wall is heart-breaking. You start asking yourself all manner of difficult questions and hitting your head against the all.

I felt so horrible, I might have just quit the whole thing.

Somehow I didn't quit. I concentrated on those two elements and I pushed through.

Tomorrow is Chapter Eight: The Tower of Bone.
