Writing Spaces . . .

I've always been envious of writers who can take their notebook computers and go to a coffee shop, order up a foamy latte, and then be able to actually sit there and write.
To me, this image is so romantic--the fiction writer in hipster glasses pounding away in the coffee shop, able to shut out the world, and yet still be able to sit there in the middle of the world writing away.  I love to envision myself in this setting.



Tragically, my brain doesn't function that way.  I need to...

Final Cover

I was a little surprised at the response to last week's raffle.  I received so many entries that we may do another one in a few weeks.  Thank you to everyone who took the time to enter.



In other news, the finalized cover for The Mist-Torn Witches is beginning to appear at various online vendors.  I really love this cover.  But I was pleased with the "First in a New Series" at the top.  For several reasons, publishers don't like to put numbers on books in a series...

Baby, it's cold outside

I've heard it said that the northwest is a good place for writers . . . as it rains all the time, and so they just stay indoors writing.  That isn't exactly true, as the summers and early falls here in Oregon are gorgeous.  But compared to Colorado, it rarely snows.  We're having a hard cold snap here this week though.  It's 22 degrees outside this morning, and it snowed last night.  JC and I have plenty of food and firewood, and we really are just going hole up here...
