It's shaping up to be an old-fashioned winter. The cold settled in during December and is showing no signs of letting up. We've had Winter Storm Blair, which brought us four and a half inches of snow, and Winter Storm Cora, which gave us another inch and a half last night. I've had the woodstove burning since the early part of December when typically, I don't every day and night until January. It's a good thing I have a nice stockpile of firewood.
With temps in the low twenties and teens, and snow on the ground, you'd think I'd be writing. And you'd be correct! I have been writing. I'm not setting the world on fire, but I've got the story I'd like to get out sometime in February at 29,000 words. At that word count, the end is about three chapters away.
I've got the cover created (I think) but I'm not ready to share it. It could change. I'm pretty fickle with things I create using Photoshop. I've also got to write the book blurb and I hate writing those. I never seem to capture the story and I don't want to fake it just to add spice. I've purchased books with a great cover blurb only to discover it had no context to the story. I should have asked for my money back, but I don't do that to other authors.
So here it is - Saturday morning and I'm looking at fresh snow. Do I write this morning and clear snow this afternoon, or vice versa? It's only 22F outside. Maybe that's the deciding factor. I'll brew a cup of tea and work on the manuscript, and hope the temperature rises to about thirty Fahrenheit before I go outside.
Yep. That's the plan.
