Can you believe June is just around the corner? That means we’re nearly halfway through the year already, how wild is that? Part of me is amazed at how fast the past six months have flown by, while another part remembers a few weeks that seemed to stretch on forever. But through it all, one thing has remained steady: my love for writing cozy mysteries. I’ve got several exciting things in the works (one of them is still under wraps a little while longer!), and I think that creative energy is what’s making my early morning writing sprints something I truly look forward to each day.

We’ve made it to the end of another week and what a week it’s been! The first few days were absolutely beautiful. The weather may have been on the cooler side for some, but I soaked up every minute of it. Then yesterday, things took a turn when a nor’easter rolled in and brought rain all day. Aside from a quick grocery store run, I stayed cozy at my desk, writing away while the storm passed through.

Happy Thursday! It’s time for a coffee break. We made it through the week and we’re half-way through April! I feel like it was just January and I blinked. Right now the weather in Connecticut is still a bit wintery with dashes of spring. I actually like the colder weather, so I’m not wishing this weather away. But I would like the weeds to go away. Those darn things! I expect that warmer weather will come in a few days and that means I’ll have to juggle my schedule to allow  me time to work outside in the garden beds. Weeds and poison ivy. Not a combo I’m looking forward to dealing with.

Happy Friday!

This weekend we spring ahead! Yes, we lose an hour of sleep but we get more sunlight. Yay. Don’t get me wrong, this gal loves autumn so much and all the coziness of early sunsets and pumpkin spice everything but by this time of the year, I’m ready for a change. And, don’t worry, I’ll be complaining about the heat and humidity of summer very soon. For now, I’m going to enjoy the extra sunlight and warmer temps (60s are on tap for next week!).

Happy Friday!

Can you believe we’re halfway through the month of January? How is that possible? Wasn’t it just New Year’s Day? Honestly, it’s been a blur since Christmas and just this week I’ve been able to get back on track with my writing (I was able to write 3k words on Wednesday!). A couple family members had some health issues and that took me away from my routine but I did manage to get words written. In order to do that, I had to let go of some things and one of those things was social media. This week marks my return to Facebook and Instagram. I have to admit, it was a nice break.
