here to whine

Snowing. 
 For a month. 
And that is not an exaggeration but winter fact. 

*sigh* 
And please hold the commentary of, "Well you knew there was more snow there..." Yes. 

But it's amazing how the weather factor was at the bottom of the list when other prioritizes came first.  

Maybe it's the urge to hibernate or not quite recovered from the holiday-ness (it was a cheerful, colourful blur) but I'm feeling sluggish and my writing sessions are not going at the pace I prefer (ha). 

But I have more trust this year that words will get down. New books will emerge. 

So that's something that makes me smile during this first week of the new year. Hope 2026 is good to you, friends.
