Hello, gentle readers! Hope you are all well and staying safe!
Well, let’s see what’s happened over here since I last wrote. A lot of things. Good things!
First, after forty years, I got rid of cable TV. I know! Forty years…and I can’t tell you how good it feels not to pay that bill (yes, they raised my rates along with the new year so I wasn’t happy about that…I wasn’t surprised by it either). I kept the internet from my provider (and bought myself a new modem, too) and now I have Netflix (which is a good thing and a bad thing). I will admit I’m enjoying that a little too much. Such good shows, so many things I haven’t seen, and you all know by now how much I enjoy watching movies. Just finished watching an excellent series yesterday, but I have to be careful and limit my time because I have other things to do.
Speaking of those other things, the first draft of The Marshal & Mrs. Morgan is almost done. One more chapter to go (the resolution to the Big Black Moment). Of course, I’ve already written the epilogue (hahahahaha, because that’s the way I roll. I'm also gearing up to start The Madam & Mr. MacLean, the next story in The Matchmaker Mischief series. That's been started already).
I have to say I have enjoyed writing this book. I’m amazed at how fast, too! I usually take about a year or more to write a story, but this one? Eight months (without plot points or an outline! I just let it flow)! And that with working full time and taking care of the house and everything else (as you all know, time is a luxury we don’t always have, hence the reason I get up so early in the morning. Those early morning hours are my time and I hold them dear). It still needs to go through critique and beta reads, but I’m so close to finishing, I can taste it. We’re on the downward slope and it feels really good!
With that said, I should get back to it.
Stay well! Stay safe! And remember to spread kindness wherever you go!
