Spring inspires me to do many things including working on my writing.

May is a great month, because temperatures are starting to warm (but they aren't too hot yet), and usually the rain has tapered off quite a bit because winter is finally letting go of its hold on the hemisphere. At least that's the way it seems here in Utah. I see the weather reports from Arizona and Las Vegas and those places already look uncomfortably hot. I also hope that those of you who participated in the A to Z challenge this year had a good time of it and got lots of followers. Now, it's time to answer the question that is posed by the Insecure Writer's Support Group.

May 2 question - It’s spring! Does this season inspire you to write more than others, or not?

I think spring is an inspiration for many things, and writing is one of them. I like to sit by the open window on days off and write. I haven't done much of that yet, but I will. I can already feel the bug creeping up on me. I have one novel that needs some editing before I can send it off. That shouldn't be too hard. And then I'll have to start picking at some other stuff in-between reading good books.

I've been kind of blessed with good books lately. I'm reading some omnibus collections of comic books and then some sequels of series that I've followed for years are coming out. So yeah, there are lots of entertainment choices at hand. I just need to set aside the time to indulge them.

On the reading front, I have to figure out the difference between an omnibus and an absolute (which is another kind of comic book collection all stuffed in one cover). I think only the DC comics are producing "absolutes," because I haven't seen these attached to omnibus editions featuring Marvel comics. Specifically, this refers to me purchasing a copy of Absolute Sandman volume 1 or the Omnibus Sandman volume 1. I haven't read either (they are written by Neil Gaiman) and will more than likely inspire me to write. Anyway, maybe Pat Dilloway will stop by and answer for me which one is the one I should buy. I think the "absolutes" appear to be larger and therefore easier to read.
