Busy Week

It’s been a busy few days. I was in Toronto for the Ontario Librarian’s Association convention where I signed books last Friday. I stayed on for another day to go to a concert of early music which I enjoyed very much. Then back to Hamilton on Sunday morning, and more cold and more snow. And it looks like that pesky groundhog saw his shadow so I suppose there will be even more to come.

I finished the P.D. James book then read the new Carol O’Connell (Bone by Bone), J. A. Jance’s Cruel Intent, and Blood on the Strand by Susanna Gregory, all of which I liked a lot. So it looks like I’m back in reading mode. Now if I can just get back to writing mode.

I’m afraid the writer’s block isn’t going to be as easily overcome as the reader’s block. I met with my writing group today and took in the draft of a story I started last fall, so I am at least looking at work, but I really need to get on with the third book in the series. I know how I want to get started, but can’t seem to get myself going.

The blog heading has a new look thanks my terrific niece who is my ‘blog guru’, so to speak. A book and a cat. Not quite like 'a loaf of bread, a jug of wine ....' but I'm sure a poem could be made from it. I'll have to see what I can do.
