Work Wednesday: First Snow

I do love the first snow of the season. Then, I’m kinda over it. But did enjoy the pre-dawn backyard. Even the shoveling.

Because of the pups, I have to shovel the patio before they can go out and make it an ice rink.

Okay, back to work for me…

Work Wednesday: Inspiration

They whispered to her you cannot withstand the storm I am the storm she whispered back

I was working out before bed the other night and my mind, as has been its way lately, wandered off. When it returned, I had the opening scene to the next Duxbridge novel..

Exhausted, I thought, I’ll write it all down tomorrow. If you know anything about inspiration, that is almost always a mistake. But somewhere between morning chores and the first cup of coffee I remembered that I had an idea.

I’ve been traveling, working, and not even sure what day it is. Lots has gotten done, and yet I feel like nothing is getting done.

Planning on a quiet Thanksgiving week, filled with writing if I can.

Work Wednesday: Act Two

I love fall. We have very few reds here, unlike the East Coast, but the Aspens do their best to help us forget that. I’m not complaining, My wildflower front yard has some spectacular fall into winter colors that hang out until spring.

This week went well. I’m traveling again, so I made an effort to do some substantial writing over the weekend before I left. Where I felt like Act One needed all the main characters fleshed out more, Act Two is more about storytelling transitions.
