Final morning stroll along the Rehoboth boardwalk before breakfast. I have two more hours before checkout, enough time to saunter the surf one last time for 2026. #rehobothbeach #beachvibes

I’m 2,450 words into my first new short story since May. Took a hiatus from writing over the summer for home renovations. Back to work on a SF mystery short story followed by a cosmic horror. Soundtrack for last night’s writing session provided by Cosmos and Music of the Spheres. #amwriting
