Change Is Good

Hello, gentle readers!

It is a beautiful Sunday morning here in Phoenix as I sit down to write this. I wanted to make sure I did this first thing, before I perform my usual Sunday chores and forget again, causing me to be late (I hate to be late, and yes, I have a specific set of chores I do on Sunday…it helps me get prepared for the work week coming up…what can I say? Gotta love those routines!)

Speaking of routines, I have changed my work week routine up a little bit and it’s really helping on the writing front. I no longer fire up the computer when I get up at 4:30 and immediately check my emails. I work on my story in progress and my average word count for the hour and fifteen minutes I write has gone from about 200 to 500. I just recently hit the 70K word mark and I like that!

I’ve mentioned my work in progress before, but I don’t know if I’ve told you what it’s about so here goes…it’s a Mail Order Bride story, the first one I’ve ever tried, but it’s a little different than other Mail Order Bride stories I’ve read…at least I hope it is.

It’s been a joy to work on (well, most of the time….there was a short period of about three weeks where I didn’t work on it at all! Just couldn’t seem to get focused. Thankfully, I have some wonderful people in my life who pretty much kicked my butt and I’m grateful for that.) I like my heroine. She’s spunky and matter-of-fact and guess what? She likes routines as much as I do!

And that’s all for me…those Sunday chores are calling my name.

Until next time, remember to spread kindness wherever you go.
