Cold weather, hot chocolate, and curled up with a good book (or Kindle, Nook, iPad to mention only a few).

How’s everyone doing out there? Hope you’re all keeping warm. I have stayed hunkered down with the wind howling outside and wind chills 20 below. Now I realize that many of you have it much worse than we do here in the Panhandle of Texas, but this is way colder that usual and just a dusting of snow. We are really dry here and could sure use some of the moisture others are getting. Our weather patterns have gone nuts in the past few years. Okay, I  know you don’t need another report on weather conditions.

Has anyone been writing while their stuck inside? I’d love to hear what you’re working on. My new schedule for three posts a week is off because I was ill, but am feeling much better and really hungry today.

I’ve been reading – of course. Next up on my list is Stephen King’s book, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft. I don’t usually read horror and his books are a bit much for me, but several members of my family love his books. I recognize him as an excellent writer. This book on his experiences as a writer and about the craft of writing is said to be a must read for those of us who write. I expect it would also be a great read for those of you who love his books. It will give you a glimpse into Stephen King himself – the man behind the stories. At any rate, I’m looking forward to it.
