I have total privacy and am happily ensconced with my writing and comfortable chair and straightening
out a chapter. When all else fails, create.
Between the rain and a problematic plot point where the salient rising actions refuse to cooperate,
it seemed important to get to a cafe then go for a walk. And look at the photo of the coffee I was given! How could the sun not shine with a such a cuppa?
On the good side, a short piece I have written, a book review, has just been published in Geist, a literary magazine. "Hangman: The True Story of Canada's First Executioner, by Julie Burtinshaw, reviewed by Maryanna Gabriel."
When all else flails, it helps to experience some progress in the writing world.
