The sun was shinning, it was a terrific-looking, pretty day! But I am now blue with cold at fingers and toes. I am shivering!!! Why? Long story short:

I've been in hiding lately. Not like hunched down behind the couch, quivering in fear, but like actually resting some. It is amazing how much better I feel today. R&R is very important for a writer. We don't -- well I don't -- take advantage of it enough.  Sooo... What have I been doing?

First of all, I didn't sleep Thursday night. Just one of those nights, you know? Teaching at the school is a new kind of stress, which I totally enjoyed, but ( Read more... )
