That gets harder in the Spring, when my garden is so beautiful, it beckons me to come outside. Then I do most of it in my head, sitting down to write in short stints. I must admit, though, I'm not making as much progress as i do in those rainy days of winter!

I started reading Michael Connelly's Bosch series so many years ago, I've forgotten the first ones, so I've gone back to the beginning and am reading the entire series again.

Like all my books, the idea came from reality--a situation involving some family members.

The third book in my Wagner-Callender Mystery Series. I figured there's a limit to the number of murders an amateur sleuth can encounter, so I'm making the third book about her detective friend. I got started with a bang (literally), but am struggling with what, of necessity, is partly police procedural--a new learning curve.

Usually, if I have writer's block, it's because my book has gone off the rails (like my current work). It's not that I can't write; the book just doesn't work. Then I have to go back and dissect it to discover what's missing. That's not nearly as much fun as writing.

I can work whenever it pleases me, whether that's at 3 p.m., or 3 a.m. I've always been a night owl and love setting my own schedule (or lack thereof).
