Welcome to my blog

As a writer, my first area of interest is obviously my books, but for my blog I will try to address different writing issues or provide my own tips when it comes to writing or self-publishing.

My blog also includes shout-outs to and recommendations for other blogs or websites, book reviews or recommendation, and a few posts sparked by nothing but an area of interest at the moment or occasionally a complaint or five.

It's finally spring, and that means sunshine. Sunshine means that I can stop hiding in my apartment and start going outside, breathing in the fresh air, moving farther than the distance from my couch to my TV, and generally just living the life I want to live.

And while holing up and hibernating for 5 months a year is an...interesting experience, it isn't one that I like to maintain. I would much rather be outside doing something.

And along with the sunshine, fresh air, vitamin D, and movement that spring and summer allow, they have an added benefit for me--I get more writing done.

The time I spend outside seems to make this "more writing" claim sound far-fetched, I know, but true. Something about expending energy in the sunshine gives me more energy to write. And not just that, nice air allows me to run, and running gets the brain flowing. So I'll get home, go for a run, clean my apartment, and then sit down and write, write, write.

I'd be happy for good weather anyway, but what it does to my creative process...thank you, Sunshine!
