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=

Well, phooey! I was having a wonderful time sitting on the back porch in this amazingly, pleasant, mid-October weather, making progress on my book, BARBEE’S AT THE BEACH. Working on chapter 30, by the way. I was enjoying the warmth, the sunshine, the scenery, and the smell of freshly picked pears on the table in front of me. Then, for some ridiculous reason, the sun, which had been perfectly positioned, moved, and I could no longer see my screen. Don’t mourn for me, however, because I have a comfy chair inside just waiting for my author-sized backside. #DanielWShegrud #BarbiesAtTheBeach #PNWA #metaline https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjloi-RvDft/?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=
