I have to tell you that I have never been so happy for March to finally unveil itself. For many of us, this winter has been incredibly, what���s the word?…horrible. And even though I may be deluding myself (since March in Ohio is normally snowy and wet) I am still dancing a jig to finally bid February adieu.
For an author, much like someone suffering from season affective disorder, we can get bogged down in our own horrible winter when we���re writing. We don���t like to think about it or to talk about it, but it���s a reality. Even though I love to spend time with my characters, they can wear me down. Or rather, the moving from plot point ���A��� to point ���B��� can wear me down. I can���t just jump to all the ���cool��� scenes and not provide the ���in between��� for the reader.
So now that spring is here (or at least in my mind it is) I am also moving forward on my work in process. It���s time to melt that heavy snow in my brain and give myself and you, the reader, glimpses of spring.
