I lived my dream today. I got up early, made my coffee, sat down, and started writing. My wife brought me lunch, and I kept writing. I finished and edited one chapter, then completely wrote another, and now I’m taking a nap. This is the life! (now if I could just convince people to buy the books I write) #danielwshegrud #barbeesatthebeach #pnwa #spokanewriters https://www.instagram.com/p/Cof96Qbvt3W/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The life of an author is a hard one. I am forced to sit in this insanely comfortable recliner in my heaven-sent dream house in this absolutely gorgeous mountain town of Metaline while I write. The horror of it all! #DanielWShegrud #BarbeesAtTheBeach #PNWA #metaline https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg7X4HJpc1M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Aye yi yi yi! I didn’t think I’d ever get to the end of chapter 24. What with months of househunting and weeks of moving, followed by weeks of settling in and then a family vacation, I’ve only written two chapters in my novel BARBEE’S AT THE BEACH in five months. It was beginning to feel like a conspiracy! But not to worry. Things are settling down and I’ve gotten back to my keyboard. How I’ve missed these wonderful people and their wonderful story. I can’t wait until you get to meet them, too! How’s your novel writing going? #DanielWShegrud #BarbeesAtTheBeach #pnwa https://www.instagram.com/p/Cggc40uOL0H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Chapter 21 of BARBEE’S AT THE BEACH is done and as far as I can tell it’s perfect. If you read the little snippet here, you’ll see that it’s also deadly serious. Or is it? #barbeesatthebeach #danielwshegrud #pnwa #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc85bscv-QE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Chapter 19 of BARBEE’S AT THE BEACH is done and ready for an editing. Now it’s time to ask my characters what happens in chapter 20. This love story about is getting exciting! #barbeesatthebeach #danielwshegrud #pnwa #lovestories https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb871IyrJBR/?utm_medium=tumblr
