Winter time seems to be the best time for me to write.
A few years ago, okay, a long time ago, I liked winter, looked forward to it.
Once upon a time I skied, ice fished a bit, enjoyed winter. Now my favorite
place in winter is in my recliner or at
my desk with my laptop. Guess that means winter is my best writing time.
What about the other
seasons. Fall – football games can be distracting,
but I seem to get quite a bit done in fall. Spring, I like to get outside, garden, lawn, golf course, and warmer weather.
Summer, well, summer is tough for all writers. Too many distractions.
So here I am in the
middle of winter, and it seems like I am
getting quite a bit of writing done. No real distractions
now that Christmas has come and gone and it’s 2017. Oh, there is a handful of meaningless, pro football games left, a
new guy taking over as President, spring training around the corner, and of
course it’s that time of year to get ready for April tax paying day.
It’s still winter, as I
look out the window, so, back to one of my works in progress.
So, how about you? What
time of year is your writing time?
It took me fifteen years to discover
I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up because by that time I
was too famous.
