Writing on verandah at villa in Negril ...

Writing on verandah at villa in Negril with Carib sea just in the distance. Pretty morning, birds talking, flowers all around, sky clear as a bell. I'm ready for my second cup of coffee already. Up early today despite getting to bed little late last night. Watched game (Miami vs. Chicago) at a local bar last night with big sis, a friend and a couple of rastas. Wow, what a game. Chicago showed out! Was rooting for Miami, but I think next one is Wednesday, so I will be ready. C'mon Miami!

We're picking up Miss D (a cute little five year old girl sis has practically adopted -- I'm "auntie") late afternoon and bringing her back to the pool for some fun in the sun. She's a hoot is all I can say.

The morning is already off to a good start -- full of writing. God is good. Beautiful day. Enjoy yours. Until next time ...

Having an absolute ball in Caribbean ...

I hope your day is going well. This afternoon I'm designing a book cover for big sis (Yuwanda Black, http://inkwelleditorial.com/about). Her first romance novella will be out soon. Can't wait to read it!

I will walk to Negril's round-about (town area) a little later for some much needed sweating. Will then probably veg out near Canoe's (http://www.realnegril.com/canoe/) for a bit this evening, before joining a friend in a little rustic cottage at top of a steep hill overlooking the sea in distance. Stars are so big up there at night. Words cannot describe the beauty all around.

I waffled on making the trip to Jamaica this time with so much on plate back home, but I'm so glad I made last minute decision to come. Life is so short, and I'm having an absolute ball. Will stay a month longer than expected to work on my little cottage in Negril. Finally got the fence run; now will start some plantings so hopefully I will have some bougainvillea foliage by fall. Pretty flowers.

Enjoooooooy your day. Now back to sis' book cover so I can close up early, head for my walk, and relax at Canoe's. Until next time ...

Negril: Love the exercise, early rise, early bed ...

I hope your day is going well. Feeling really blessed this morning, enjoying this life I've carved out for myself, in spite of so many things. Of course, money's always a little tight; haven't "made it" yet; but feeling so rich in so many things, and if God took me tomorrow, I would not regret one iota of today. I hope this is life for you, too. If not, maybe consider changing some things ... I did:

Simple Steps to Happiness and Getting the Life & BUSINESS You Deserve — Starting Today, http://tinyurl.com/3gq4nzo

This morning, I'm making contact with http://www.foreclosurecleanupconsultant.com contacts. This afternoon, fiction stuff and novel cover exploration. Will tie up things late afternoon to check on contractor at my Negril, Jamaica land lot (http://cassandra-black-author.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-caribbean-sea-is-gorgeous-today.html) -- contractor's clearing debris. Long walk afterwards, then will stop by what I call the "Cheers" of Negril to just relax and stare at the Caribbean Sea, looking for inspiration for new stories to tell in my books.

Love the exercise, early rise, early bed in Negril. God is good. Again, just feeling blessed. Enjoy your day. Back to it ...

Negril, Jamaica

Enjoy rest of your day, and check out Latest Release: http://tinyurl.com/loving-a-texan.

The Caribbean Sea is gorgeous today ...

Hi everyone ... I hope you had a great weekend. Doing a little foreclosure cleanup book marketing today. I'm in a villa not too far from the Caribbean Sea (Negril, Jamaica -- my hideaway). In just a bit, I will put on my walking gear and strike out for a minimum five mile walk. It's hot today; looking so forward to sweating after rum punches last night. On the walk, I'll stop by my little Caribbean lot and measure for my new fence. One day soon, my cottage will be finished.

Back to new novel work tomorrow. Check out Latest Release: http://tinyurl.com/loving-a-texan.

Enjoy rest of your day.

Perfect day for writing ...

I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was full of outside work. Planted new azaleas, couple of cedars, and two rose bushes. Repainted an old porch bench a pretty pink color, did a couple of floral arrangements, and started rescreening my front porch. Had so much fun, but the highlight was talking to my handsome son in Air Force. Now I'm ready for a great week, and I hope you are, too.

Just got situated on porch for morning full of writing. (Had to sweep away tons of pollen, but here we go ...)

Simply beautiful Atlanta morning. God is good. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy your week!
