My wife and I just made it back from three weeks in the San Diego area. It is interesting to see new sites or long forgotten sites when looking for inspiration for writing. “Sea of Salt” is on deck. I’m a few chapters into it and it is starting to come together, but La Jolla Cove was helpful in reflecting on the Jon-E and E-Tan characters. I also had a great experience at Oceanside Pier watching birds on the sad looking out toward to ocean watching people. Instead of bird watching I had birds people watching. I felt like I was looking at a Far Side cartoon. Its good to be back.
