Bracing for the cold

Snow before the cold

So, we have a cold front coming this week, a brutal one. I always hope February will be kinder, maybe because it’s sitting next to March, which is (almost) spring. Okay, here in Minnesota, March is absolutely not spring. Still, I expect February to be more compassionate.

Sadly, my expectations are often dashed.

Luckily, I do not need to leave the house until next Saturday. I have all meals planned, plenty of coffee and tea, a new series to binge (Paradise on Hulu—two episodes in, and I’m enjoying it), and plenty to read.

In writing progress, I’ve made it all the way through the manuscript (y’all, it’s 103,000 words) with Pansy’s plotline. Now, I plan to do a first-cut revision and weave in the second plotline, which deals with the character of Marigold in The Marigold Miracle. So, at least I have writing to distract me from the cold as well.

If you’re dealing with any kind (or not-so-kind) weather this week, take care!

One thought on “Bracing for the cold”

  1. Sounds like you are well-prepared for whatever the weather brings! And what is it about our hopes and expectations for the seasons, and why is it that we are so often disappointed? Must be character-building, that’s all I can figure.

    And congratulations on finishing the draft of the narrative arc for your main character! Sounds to me like you’re going full throttle — must be exciting to be able to make so much progress (and maybe confirms your decision to make this work your primary focus?)!

    Take care, stay warm (stay inside)!
