A new month, and often the gloomiest one of the year here in Ottawa. Night sets in around five o'clock, and most of us are tired of the snow and frigid temperatures. However, this is also a great time to stay inside and write, watch...
Another week in the books, and it was a frigid one here in Ottawa. I managed to avoid going outdoors for the most part - ever since the pandemic, I'm comfortable staying home and puttering, although one social gathering got me out...
Chilling down here in Ottawa. Good weather for staying inside and writing. I've had a great week, managing about 5000 words on the latest manuscript. Yahoo. The contract for this book has a June 1st deadline. While this seems like a lot of time, it isn't...
