Happy New Year!

Lord, I have no imagination, do I? Well, having admitted that, I hope you had wonderful holidays and that the New Year really is happy.

I've been busy since we talked. I finished a book and sent it off to my editor. I hope he likes it. (A mantra I have repeated approximate 1000 times since hitting "send" and shipping the manuscript off.) Now I've dragged an unfinished story out from under the bed and am blowing dust bunnies off of it. Sometimes when I go back and look at something I wrote a year or two ago, I repeat another mantra--you know the one: "What were you thinking?" But not this time. This time, I'm thinking, "Hmmm..." and I'm really liking it.

I've also been sewing up a storm. I sew gowns and blankets for hospitals and nursing homes. I don't sew all that well, but I enjoy it. I hope the bright colored gowns and warm quilts offer joy to someone else, too.

I spend way too much time on the computer doing things besides writing, but I've been visiting a few blogs lately and enjoying them. One of them is Word Wranglers. Pay them a visit. They're a fun bunch.

The book of the month for January is Forbidden Falls by Robyn Carr. It's another Virgin River story and what a good one it is. Enjoy--and if you've never read her books before, she has a long and invariably good backlist.
