Weather

The week started out sunny, bright, and very warm. I was hoping to get a head start on preparing my garden, but a sudden drop in temperatures nixed my plans. I've widened the garden this year, so I should be able to plant many more veggies. I just hope it warms up soon.

I've always done some of my best plotting for my stories while gardening. Everything seems to come together while my hands are in the soil. Several ideas for new stories also come to me while I'm working, and one time I even wrote an entire play after mulling it around in my mind while my hands toiled in the soil.

Some writers are more productive in the winter, but for me, the warm weather sets my creativity on fire and my muse comes out to play.

Wednesday's Website

Over the years I've come across many interesting websites for beginning and established writers, so I've decided that every Wednesday I'll post links to my favorites. I hope you find them as helpful and motivating as I do.  

Gardening

With the super hot weather we've been having this summer my garden is thriving! Next year I'll be putting in a bigger one.

Too Long!

It's been a while since I've posted. Too much to do and not enough hours in the day! I hope to be back on track very soon.

Finally!

The last couple of years has been rough going where my writing is concerned. It's not that the ideas aren't there, only life intruding on my time. I'm finally getting back on track and plan to complete several projects this year.

New Goals!

If all goes according to schedule, I should have three mystery/thriller novels completed sometime in 2013. I also have several romantic/sensual short stories in the works.

I'm also working on my latest screenplay and hope to have that completed in the next couple of months.
