Unfortunately, the only time JC could take off was in the summer so they made it for July. LoNoWriMo. the local novel writing month, challenge starts on July 1st at 12 am. 30 days of nothing but novel writing. 50,000 words minimum. Amy put her son into a month long summer camp on Lake Peealotta. near the Canadian border, so it was convenient for her to come as well. Reese fired up the rock star bus and brought her youngest daughter with her for some much needed fishing, swimming and R&R.
Rosie knew the backwoods well and snagged some prime real estate on Lake FoggyOften. Everyone had their own suite overlooking the lake and there was a floor to ceiling fireplace to gather and write around on the north side of the lodge. The east side was all glass, showcasing the Lake. The North side was mason work of gorgeous Canadian granite and Pine cross beams.
They planned to arrive for the night before July 1st. so they could stay up and drink wine and giggle around till Midnight to start their novels. Reese had brought large white boards for outlining her novel. JC had a bunch of yellow sheets of legal paper bound up in a folder, Rosie had it all in her head and Amy brought some doodles she had done of the different chapters in her book.
The lodge's large grandfather clock stood there ticking as it got closer to Midnight. They had been laughing loud and long and finally quieted down as they looked expectantly to JC.
GOOOO! he said. with his best baritone vigor.
When suddenly there is a sound overheard of a twin engine sea plane skimming the roof. They run to the windows and to the door in time to see the plane land deftly near the pier and a lone passenger pop out.
FLY!! We didn't think he would make it, he said he couldn't come, but there he was! Ready to write and draw and create chaos out of tranquility.
woo hoo. suddenly they were five strong.
