turns to love in the springtime. Mine turns to blogging in the fall. (Autumn for others.) I am in the midst of working on a couple of things and have come to a dry patch in my imagination, so I turn to online housekeeping tasks to keep me in the game so to speak. I don’t allow despair if I am working on some facet of writing or marketing. If all I do is sit on the couch and binge You Tube vids on cake decorating, then I start the recriminations.
Anyway, I thought it was time to clean up the blog and get it ready for winter. Here in Widespot it’s still getting into the 100s a reality so thoughts of pumpkin spice, falling leaves, and warm sweaters are not constant.
I am preparing for a trip. Monday I will fly to Oregon and meet up with two excellent friends. Unfortunately for me I’m a person who would rather plan then execute. I am sure that there will be, in no particular order, a plan crash, awful interaction with passengers that goes viral, miss my flight because I didn’t make my connection in Dallas, lose my luggage*, or any number of disasters that I haven’t thought of yet. I’ll have to let you know how it goes.
It’s time to go back to work. One of my projects is a JAFF Contemporary Christmas novella. Frederick (Rick) Wentworth and Anne Elliot come back together in an Oregon coastal town. I have messed with a Western/Gothic/Gaslamp, horroresque project. And now a JAFF Contemporary, 2nd chance, corporate romance. Who knows what will get finished first?
For those of you still in the throes of summer, stay cool. Thos of you still in the throes of winter, stay warm. Those in the throes of the temperate, you lucky dogs enjoy it!
Take care–SK
