Tragic news, everyone. Part 4 of Isabelle’s Story is not ready yet, even though I said it would be up today. The good news is that it should be ready tomorrow. I really try to post things when I say I will, but as the title says, life intervenes sometimes.
In this case, I went rafting today with my friend. It was kind of a last minute thing, but if you know me in real life, you’ll know I’m adventurous and spontaneous. If you don’t know me in real life, well, now you know.
The river is known as the Mangyeonggang, which is practically unpronounceable when written in English. In Korean, it’s 만경강. I didn’t take any pictures, since I didn’t want to get the camera wet or damaged but here is a picture of the river by someone else.
As you can see, there are large masses of vegetation, as well as frequent breakwaters built across the river to slow the water down in the rainy seasons. We had to portage around four of those, but on the other side of them, the water was fast and went through corridors of tall grass and reeds, often in convoluted S-shapes. It was very fun. Here’s an aerial picture.
So that’s why the story isn’t ready. Unless I go sky-diving tomorrow, it should be up then. (In the meantime, you can catch up with the first story, Isabelle’s Island, or Part 1, Part 2, or Part 3 of The Other Side: Isabelle’s Story, if you haven’t read them yet.)
In the spirit of sharing, what are some times when life intervened on your scheduled writing?

Not good enough (Just kidding) Sometimes life has to be experienced on the fly like that. Glad you had a good day, and looking forward to Isabella tomorrow

Life always intervenes in my writing schedule. I must get better about this. 🙂

Oh fun! I’m glad you went rafting. You never know what life experiences can bring and end up in a story, right? In that way, all life is writing. Ha ha. Life intervenes all the time….for me, it’s usually my kids 🙂

Yes, kids kind of force their way into every crevice of life. I don’t have any yet, but I have lots of nieces and nephews.
