Some Fun Stuff

         

        Hello, gentle readers! Hope you are all well and staying safe!

        So, I did a couple of fun things in the past week (aside from writing) so I thought I’d share a little. I met a friend for lunch. We used to work together, but it’s been a while. We do stay in touch via Facebook, but it’s not the same as sitting across from someone, sharing a meal amid laughter. It was such a fun visit—we laughed a lot. And I left the restaurant happy, enthused, and raring to write.

        What else did I do that was fun? I did an interview (oh, no, not in person! That would just terrify me!). I did two interviews actually, one for Oliver-Heber, my publisher, and one for Fresh Fiction. Here are the links if you want to check them out….

They were a little difficult to do. I share a lot with you, gentle readers, but don’t normally share as much with others. I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone, so to speak and doing these interviews was a step forward. 

What else did I do that was fun? Well, I’m not sure most folks would call it fun, but I did work on The Madam and Mr. MacLean, the next story in the Matchmaker Mischief series. I won’t say it hasn’t been a struggle, because it has, but I’m making headway, I think. My heroine, a rather reserved individual, has finally smiled! And laughed! Which made me laugh. And I’m so proud of her. I know that sounds silly, but it’s true. Hmmmm, I wonder if other authors feel like this—almost downright giddy—when a character begins to blossom and comes out of her shell. My hero is the complete opposite…he smiles and laughs all the time. Actually, it just occurred to me that my hero is kinda like my DH…he’s very outgoing, very chatty (with everyone—I don’t think he’s ever met a stranger!) and he’s been making me laugh for the past forty-six years!

And that’s all for me…I need to get back to my heroine, Sheridan, and see if I can make her laugh again. Stay well! Stay safe! And remember to spread kindness wherever you go!
