He might be able to do as you say. I'll let him decide after he has his new schedule under control. Our mid-province flights have always been expensive for Thanksgiving and Christmas - don't know why I was surprised. It's when it LOOKS inexpensive and then you tack on the taxes and dozens of surcharges that are as much as the flight. Tricky advertising... Hi, Natalie,

I always found people to hook up with for the 14-hour drive home for holidays when I was in college, even though I didn't have a car on campus myself. Stupid oil companies. They are, of course, the reason for the increase in flight costs. Though it's also cheaper the earlier you buy, so maybe you should get his tickets for next year now! LOL Can’t he drive home, Cindy?

The flight to get my son home for Xmas is **under an hour long**. It's a flight **within my province**. Granted, provinces are larger than states, LOL. The airline has seat sales, but of course not at Thanksgiving and Christmas. As for my writing process, the first scene I moved, on closer examination didn't work. I drafted a new scene, though. Still needs lots of revision, which I will think about while I'm cleaning the workshop today. At least you’re going a fair distance, Lexi.

I just made my reservation for Christmas (to go from Austin to Rhode Island where I grew up) and it was close to $600!! It used to be $200-250. Yes, embrace your writing process. Whatever you're doing though seems to be working. Good luck! Plane tickets are UNBELIEVABLE!

I'll keep an eye out for the article. As for calling my son, "back in the day" we had a floor phone that the parents could call and hope the kid was present, but you could always leave messages. Now there's cell phones, and I don't want to use up my son's minutes. But you gave me the bright idea to buy him a top-up card and mail it to him. Then I can call once a week and hear his voice. I think that will help a lot. Thanks, Avery, that issue arrived just the other day, but I’ve been too busy to scan it yet. I’ll keep an eye out for the article.

I thought of lots of ways I could apply the info in there. Check it out. And call your son a lot. :) There’s a good article in the Sept RWR about “existential depression” and re-focusing when something brings you down.
