DH came home from a business trip this morning and we snuck out of town a little after 6pm. Traffic wasn’t too bad except for the border patrol check point in San Onofre which began moving promptly again at precisely 7:30 pm. Illegal immigrants must abide by the holiday schedule as well, you see.

So we’re all settled in and looking forward to a couple of carefree days. Have a great weekend!

Shouldn’t I be writing?

ByKristen Koster

So, I got an reply email from DH after I sent him to let him know I fixed a couple things on his website: “Shouldn’t you be writing? ;)” Doh. Caught procrastinating again. He knows how I get when a puzzle is put in front of me. To be honest, I have been running a…

#WhyIReadHistoricals and write them too!

This post was originally published on Feb 10, 2012 as “Why I Love Historical Romance”, but I’m dragging it back out because the Historical Romance Network is celebrating all the sub-genres of Historical Romance today on social media with #WhyIReadHistoricals and #WhyIWriteHistoricals and these reasons are all still valid for me. ❧ My accountability group…

Slow Return to Normalcy

ByKristen Koster

We just received news that 20 staff and over 340 students in the Poway school district have lost their homes. Staggering news. In order to get the community back into normal routines, they have canceled the half week off school next week for Parent/Teacher conferences. Guess it’s a good thing we hadn’t planned a trip…

Didn’t Get Very Far…

ByKristen Koster

So, we didn’t escape far. We pretended to be tourists and drove down to El Cajon on Friday afternoon to do the Taylor Guitar factory tour with the kids. DH had been a couple years ago, but we thought it might be interesting for the kids since they’re becoming more musically aware and we’re like…

Sunny So Cal 3/52

ByKristen Koster

Sunny So Cal While the rest of the country has been dealing with temperatures well below normal, we’ve been having a heat wave here in Southern California. My car’s thermometer hit 90˚F on two separate days this week. Now, granted this was because the car had been sitting in the sun with the windows up,…

Target Word Count

ByKristen Koster

This week my accountability group’s How I Write series asks, “When you’re writing, do you have a wordcount in mind that you HAVE to stick to? What’s your happy WIP word zone? If you don’t have enough, do you try to add more to reach it?” I’m going to tackle this week’s question two different…

  1. Border checkpoint? Then I’m guessing you went to Mexico? Hope it was a great long weekend. 🙂

    1. Actually, we went north to Huntington Beach, Ca. And yes, 68 miles north of the US/Mexican border, they have a weigh station where the border patrol agents do a look-see into all northbound vehicles on the I-5 interstate. I guess they figure they get a second chance once people relax an hour past the border on their way up to LA.

      It just cracks me up that at precisely 7:30 Friday night, they were off the clock and traffic suddenly started moving again.
