It appears the vacation is definitely over! Last week, I was going for my last walk on a sun-drenched beach in Hawaii; today, I am huddled indoors trying to avoid the wrath of the biggest storm we’ve seen this winter. Being housebound is definitely not a bad thing though: While Nora sleeps, I’m finally getting a chance to catch up on old invoices and looking toward future projects. My biggest to-do item is to get started on my novel again—I let it sit just a little too long and now have no idea where it is going. Well, time for some hot chocolate and to hopefully find some inspiration!
Welcome!
