Clearing my head to start a new book...

Supposed to be 7 degrees in a few days. Glad to get out with these girls before the freeze…

I was talking to a writer friend (the very talented J.T. Ellison) the other day and we were commiserating over the struggles of beginning a new book.

I’m about 5k words into my new project and, at this stage, every word feels a bit like yanking on a tooth. There is something about movement (walking in particular) that really helps a story idea gel. I’ve been turning this new idea in my head and walking a lot lately.

Getting outside with my girls helped clear my head a bit. Now I’m heading to the office to dig back in.
