A Windy Spring

Today is a day for getting things done, I can feel it! Yesterday, pretty much all day, I could hear the wind whistling through the branches of the lilac bushes outside my window, buffeting them against the side of our fence. The sound was strangely melodic.

Right now I'm reading one of my favorite writing-on-writing books, "How to Write a Mystery," by Larry Beinhart. One reason I love the book is it's so positive, it is like a pep talk:

If you can write a clear sentence, if you can organize your thoughts, if you know the field and love it, and if you will make the commitment, you can probably write a salable book (p. 3).

Yes! Whenever I think to myself, "This is ridiculous! What makes me think that _I_ could write a book," I whip out Beinhart's book and re-read it.

Well, now I'm going to go and do _at least_ 1,000 words on my current writing project. Talk to you later. :)
