Spring Has Arrived! Finally

This picture was taken a couple of weeks ago and unfortunately the candytuft and phlox aren’t blooming as pretty now, but that just means it’s getting even warmer. I can’t even begin to complain about that.

Just like the toad (or maybe frog) picture I posted last time, these flowers are in the rock wall lining my driveway. This had to be put in a couple of years ago (long and expensive story) so this is year two of the plantings. I think it’s looking better than last year and it is the easiest thing on my property to weed because a lot of it I don’t have to bend down to do. So that’s a big plus. The other big plus is that with the rock wall in place, the ground is no longer threatening to swallow my driveway and garage whole.

I’ve been trying to decide how to format my blog and what to do with it. I’ve decided to post some writing and am currently trying to figure out the logistics of setting up my website to handle that and make it easy to read stories and chapters. I think I might have the beginnings of it sussed out but I’m sure it will be an evolving work so please bear with it. I have a completed M/M story that I will hopefully start posting a chapter a week this weekend. I’m also trying to write some shorts/filler chapters to the book I’d like to publish. The bits of writing will focus on pivotal (or what I feel are pivotal) moments in either a character’s development or the storyline’s development. I’ve got the first one written. It needs editing and I’ll read over it a few more times but hopefully I can get it up either this weekend or over the following week. That main story will probably not be posted on this site. If I can’t get it “officially published” then I’ll look into self publishing so it can see the light of day. The tentative title of that story is Reaping Covetous and it is a paranormal/urban fantasy romance that is M/F. I welcome constructive feedback on stories as well as hearing if you like them or not.

I’d love to write and work on this more, but work is busy and very stressful right now and I find my brain busted by the time a day off rolls around. Creativity can be difficult to come by after having to tell a client, or some days, several clients, bad news. In the time of COVID, it is even weirder because I can’t offer the level of comfort I’m used to. It’s wearing but at least I’m still working. My heart goes out to all those struggling right now.

Hopefully this weekend will prove fruitful and I’ll start getting some writing posted. Until then, keep well and lower your mask long enough to smell a flower or two.
