Getting Back to Work

I'm working on it, Paige!

Yesterday I finished answering my mail. Then for the first time in a few months, I let myself look at the the books I've been using for my next novel. It's exciting to go back to it now. November is a good month for creative things. There's a stillness to it that really feeds me.

And I'm starting the day with a nice boost. Touch Blue made the Indiana Young Hoosier Award list for 2012-2013,  That's its 10th state list nomination, and I've loved every trip I've made to Indiana.  The idea that kids in IN will be reading about lobster fishing really makes me smile. Congratulations to my LJ friends: Loree Burns, Barbara O'Connor, Jill Esbaum, and Jeannine Atkins, too!



My husband recently took a trip to Spruce Head, Maine and came home with some beautiful photos, including this one of stacked lobster traps.
