Even though I don't have Max here to snore while I spend hours at the laptop, I now have two rescue dogs, both scoundrels, Jarvis and Claude, who keep me busy and ensure I step away from the screen... rather too many times on occasion, to take them outside for walks, feed them and just pay them attention. It's a good distraction and oddly enough, stepping away from what I'm doing allows ideas and twists I hadn't previously thought about to enter into my brain.
I've been working in the house this winter, but now that the weather is getting warmer again, I'm looking forward to getting back to my shed and my pink Lloyd Loom chairs. I'm not so sure a third chair is going to fit in there though, so maybe I'll have to think about taking the dogs' beds for them to lie on while I write.
Do you have company while you write?
Happy writing! x

Lovely to see you back on the blog, Debs, and the dogs look great company! I know what you mean about writing something completely different - I am too, now and then. All the best with your new project.
Good for you! I can't wait to hear more about your project. And I'm sure your new assistants are wonderful. Every writer needs to step away every now and then, and they're making sure you do that. Good for them. =o)
Last year was quite a bad one for me, as well, though it definitely had its good moments! My non-fiction book was published, my brother got married, and I got an AGENT! :)
Like you, I've been stuck in my house far too long with the weather. My three cats have kept me company, though. :) I'm quite eager to start enjoying warm weather!
Great to see you back Debs! How exciting, and brave to be tackling a completely different genre. Best of luck with your writing-expect it will be good to get back in the shed. Looking forward to seeing you at the RNA Summer Party! (think you said you were going to the party on Twitter recently?)x
Thank you so much Rosemary, best of luck with your wonderful writing too. x
B.E. thank you. They are great company and make me walk them even when I'm feeling lazy.
I've got your book on my Kindle and am looking forward to reading it. x
I'm sorry to hear you had a difficult year last year, Melissa, but thrilled to discover that you've got an agent! Huge congratulations, and very well deserved. x
Thanks, Anita! I'm loving this new genre and it's made me wonder why I didn't try writing it before now.
I am going to the Summer Party and look forward to catching up with you there. x
Hi Debs. I am lucky enough to have an insulated garden room for writing. (an anniversary gift from my husband for 30 years hard labour..er..I mean dedication and love. Seriously though, I adore my room and my springer spaniel, Brook, has a bed in the front corner. She loves to look out at the birds hopping on the grass! xx
Just seen your March post and glad you're back, writing your blog. Best of luck with your writing.

I personally think you're worthy of Seventh-Heaven... but, alas! that ain't MY decision to make; however, I believe if blogs would git you IN, you're definitely IN, girly-whirly. Looky and grow...
‘philanthropic + epiphany’ (=so much to give + vision):
~let these two words be the start of your journey~
I looove RITErs;
I looove giving'm new opportunities
for thots/ideas/structural integrity,
taking'm in a completely-new-direction:
Why else does a moth fly FROM the night
than to a bold, attractive candle Light??
Don’t let His extravagant Brilliance be extinguished.
You’re creative, yes?
Then, fly-away with U.S. to the antidote…
Whether you obtain moralityB4mortality to wiseabove
or just glean tantalizing specimens for thy next best seller,
you shall find in our blogs a lotta (subliminal) moxie
which has taken this sinfull mortal yeeeeers to compile!
I lay it ALL out for you, dear, with All-Star-Oxygems:
Wouldn’t ya love an endless eternity
of aplomBombs falling on thy indelible cranium?
An XtraXcitinXpose with no zooillogical-expiration-date?
An IQ much higher than K2 all-go-rhythm?
An anti-establishment, savvy victory +
avant-guarde-humility =
you’re promptly astonished, ain’tcha?
withe extraordinarily explosion of maelstrom mellowdramatic??
Here’s what the exquisite, prolific GODy sed
(with a most-excellent-detector of bull§ht):
“Faith, hope, and love,
the greatest of these is love –
jump into faith…
and you’ll VitSee with love”
Doesn’t matter if you don’t believe (what I write);
God believes in you.
Meet me Upstairs, girl, where the Son never goes down
from a super-passionate, lucrative iconoclasm where you’ll find
nonillionsXnonillionsXnonillionsXnonillionsXnonillionsX…
of deluxe-HTTP [<- pi] opportunities for excitement BTW.
Do it. Do the deed, dude. Sign into the Big-Zaftig-House.
PS “It is impossible that anyone should NOT receive all that they have believed and hoped to obtain; it gives Me great pleasure when they hope great things from Me and I will always give them more than they expect”
-our Lord Jesus to Saint Gertrude
...think about it, girl:
if 1-outta-1 perishes in 88ish years;
then, how WE sinfull mortals have lived
is where we go for eternity, Up or Down,
Seventh-Heaven or the Abyss o'Misery.
Life is extremely tough now…
yet, life’s extremely short now.
And Satan’s working overtime
to take over your indestructible soul.
Don’t let him.
I Choose Heaven.
Choose.
