The worst was when one storm punched in an upstairs window and threw it against my bedroom door. But storms then were not as big as storms now. Oak Lawn being the exception. And I always feel bad for the hit animals take during a storm.
The murder in Grindstone came from stories I read while doing genealogy. Some of my father's young cousins disappeared from records. Uneasy feeling about that.(less)

The excitement of writing a scene stays with me until I can resume writing the scene. When that scene is fairly complete, I begin the next and stop. It's like rewarding a dog's behavior with treats. Worked for my Shih Tzu.(less)
