There are a
lot of fun things about writing, but a couple in particular were on my mind
over the past couple of days.
First, I
had an August 1 deadline for a proposal for my second K-9 Ranch Rescue book for
Harlequin Romantic Suspense. I met it,
and I'm way into writing the first draft of that book, too. But it's always fun to meet a deadline.
Second, my
younger son sent me a text message from a vacation he was on that included
photos of a shelf in a bookstore in the city he was visiting. Why was that fun? Well, that photo had a bunch of my mystery
books on it, starting with my first cozy SIT, STAY, SLAY from my Kendra
Ballantyne, Pet-Sitter Mysteries, as well as my most recent Barkery &
Biscuits Mystery BAD TO THE BONE, and several others from those and others of
the series I've written. Yep, fun!
Are those
the only reasons? Nope. I have fun with the whole writing process, at
least a lot of the time. I do get
frustrated at times, or worried, or--well, name the emotion and I've probably
felt it. But I'm always (mostly) glad
I'm a published author and that I'm continuing to write more.
Anyway, happy
August, everyone! And if you can tell me
why this year is going so fast, please do.

I certainly agree about the year going fast. Also agree about loving to write even if it sometimes feels like pushing a boulder up a mountain. How fun that your son sent you the photo!
I like your analogy of pushing a boulder up a mountain. There are times I sit down to write when I know I have to but don't want to--until I start and the next scene starts pouring out!
