It's another snowy day in Maine, so I stayed inside and wrote while I waited for football to entertain me... #photography #snow #winter #Maine #writing #booksky

It's way too cold to go outside. No problem for me because I happily stayed inside and wrote all day. #writing #booksky #writingcommunity #winter

Nothing beats starting the day with a writing session, and then enjoying a good book over breakfast... #writing #booksky #writingcommunity

I called City Hall to complain that I fell on ice in the street while trying to shovel my driveway. Turns out Public Works is closed today, so the woman who took my call came to my house and took care of the issue. Color me VERY impressed with my city government! #Maine #goodpeople #uplifting

Ended up being an achy day after falling on the ice while shoveling the driveway. I was determined to kick off the year on a positive note, though, so I fought through the pain and wrote another chapter... #photography #snow #writing #NewYearsDay #writingcommunity

Here's hoping 2026 is getting its supply of snow out of its system on day one... #photography #snow #Maine #HappyNewYear

Got my first snow shoveling of 2026 and my first fall on ice out of the way during the same event... #photography #snow #winter #Maine

I'm closing out 2025 on a creative roll. Just hit page 100 on my new project. What was meant to be a distracting side project while I queried the latest detective novel, has turned into a full blown next manuscript! #writing #booksky #creativeprocess #querying #writingcommunity

My first official act of 2026 was to fire up the laptop and write the next few pages of my current project. The year is off to an excellent start. Happy New Year! #NewYear #writing #booksky #creativeprocess #writingcommunity

I just hope Baby New Year has a safe journey through Times Square tonight! #NewYearsEve #NewYear

One of my favorite things about New Year's Day is that I wake up with zero query rejections for the year... #querying #writing #booksky #writingcommunity #NewYear

Up early to try to cross the last of my 2025 New Year's resolutions off my list before I compile a new batch for 2026 🤣 #NewYearsEve #resolutions #procrastination

Continuing to take advantage of my time off, I wrote ten pages of my new project today. The ideas are forming faster than I can get them down on the page... #writing #booksky #creativeprocess #writingcommunity

Braved icy roads to walk to the library. Now that is dedication to reading! 🤣 #booksky #reading #library

Spent the day writing. Finally went outside to clear the slush out of the driveway before it freezes. Definitely preferred the writing part. #photography #snow #Maine #writing

Snow has changed over to heavy rain. I had to run out to the store, but now I plan to stay inside and write until spring... #photography #Maine #snow #writing

Today's Maine postcard. Yes, it snowed again... #photography #snow #Maine

Took advantage of my time off to finish chapter 7 of my new project. I'm really enjoying writing this one. Here's hoping agents and publishers enjoy it, too. That would be a nice change... #writing #booksky #writingcommunity #vacation

In an exciting twist, the city finally agreed to plow the running path this winter. Usually we're forced to run over 6 months of snow and ice... #Stunday #photography #running #snow #Maine

Now I can skip the bridge and walk across the ice to get to Bangor... #Stunday #photography #ice #winter #Maine

Made significant progress on chapter 7 today. This is my fourth manuscript, and the first that isn't a detective driven mystery. It's been a blast to try something new... #writing #creativeprocess #booksky #writingcommunity

I'm inside my warm house working on chapter 7 of my new project. But I know the Arctic tundra is just down the street... #Stunday #photography #writing #booksky #Main÷

Ventured out into the frozen tundra this morning. The ice on the Penonscot River is thick enough to host an NHL contest... #Stunday #photography #Maine #frozen #winter

I've been divorced for over 20 years, and one of the things I most miss about being married is enjoying my mother in law's homemade Christmas cookies...

I'm surprised at how quickly this new story is flowing onto the page. I thought it was just a distraction during the querying process, but now I've written six chapters. And the ideas keep coming... #writing #booksky #creativeprocess #writingcommunity#querying

I often feel like I live in a snowglobe. ⛄️ #photography #snow #winter #Maine

Spending Christmas alone isn't that bad when you've got a head full of ideas for your new project and plenty of shows to binge. 🎅🌲 #Christmas #writing #booksky #writingcommunity

I'm always thankful I don't have to shovel the front lawn, too 🤣⛄️ #photography #WhiteChristmas #snow #Main÷

Wrote the first few pages of chapter 6 this morning as I watched the snow falling outside. Guess Santa's gift to me was inspiration... 🎅🌲⛄️ #writing #booksky #Christmas #creativeprocess #writingcommunity

It even snowed in the backyard this time 🤣⛄️ #photography #snow #Christmas #WinterWonderland #Maine

Santa brought me snow this year. Too much snow. Look at how excited I am with my gift and the idea of shoveling it! 🤣🎅⛄️ #Christmas #snow #Maine
