I hope that the holidays have treated you well. I had a bit of a rough go of it and simply decided that it was better to relax over writing too much. After all, I do not yet see a flood of readers commenting on my missing a day, so I took a bit of mental health time. Watched some bad movies with some good friends, and generally took the pressure off myself, as to what I should have had done in the course of a day. Much as I like to pretend, I am not superhuman, and bad days happen. It’s how you bounce back that matters. That means not only do I have this post for you all, but I also finished a short story and planned out my writing year in review.

All will become posts sometime soon, but as it is a Monday, it is, of course, a Music day, with something from my playlist.

I am about midway in the second WIP book, about where a good writer does nasty things to the characters you now care about. So, of course, my inspiration songs are the types that talk about relationships. I like a few from Nicki Bluhm, but this is one of those stories in a song that just causes my writerly muse to tell her own tales to me. I never own the songs I post, just do my best to credit the right people for moving me and my muse. Thank you, and all the best wishes.
