Rain and Writing

Please forgive my delight that we had a little relief from the relentless hot weather yesterday! It was wonderful to see the rain and feel the coolness, although it seems to be short-lived. The poor garden and flowers are also suffering and I could almost sense their gratitude when I went out to take a couple of photos.



I always find it more difficult to write during the summer, even without such extreme temperatures, so it was great to see a couple of pieces of writing in print. I can't remember if I mentioned before that one of my poems, Where Kelpies Sing, was published in a recent Wild Musette Journal. They have now published it online so anyone can read it. If you're interested, you can find it by clicking the link on the poem title.


The other published piece was a new article in the latest edition of the US magazine The Highlander. This one is about the Vikings' last battle on Scottish soil and is the second to be published this year. I love this magazine of Scottish heritage and have contributed to it for many years. Some of my previously published articles are in my Scottish Collection of non-fiction.

Now, I'm trying to add more words to my next Scottish novel, as well as various other projects - if only it would become cooler to let me concentrate!

Hope your own summer is going well.
