Wow, you are busy! No wonder your creative muse has taken a vacation. I deeply envy you the hot weather! Sadly, our April is much cooler than normal. Today barely reached 40. We should be having days in the 60's regularly with a few in the 70's.

When you get a chance, unplug the internet and relax. The best thing for me was to have mine off for a couple of days. The cable from pole to house needed replaced, so I was without phone or internet off and on for a week, but a couple of days when it completely died. Luckily, they fixed it easily at no cost to us. I really do hate to be offline! I probably should seek out a 12-step program for that.

But it did give me a chance to do some undistracted reading. I put Resonance on my kindle by way of converting it through Flagfic.com. And it looks so nice on there with it's cover art. I almost have more fanfic on the kindle than regular books. Almost!

Anyway, good luck with the muse. Enjoy the weather. Sounds like a morning on the deck with fresh ground coffee and scones is just the thing. No wait, a morning locked up with the laptop, writing. An evening with margaritas on the deck, after writing.

I had been wondering what was up with you. Whether your posting what was, I assume, the VERY LAST chapter in parts/drafts on your LJ was an EVIL TEASE ... nah, just joking. (I never read those drafts because I didn't want to be spoilt.)

Accounting is, indeed, evil. Given your profession I assume you're well acquainted with Scot Adams's portrayal of accounting departments in Dilbert as groups of trolls?

I selfishly tender my best wishes that you find some creative time! :-)

I, too, am checking regularly to see how you are doing...I am laughing at the accounting references because I am one of those accountants. However I have clients and help them with tax problems, so maybe I am on the good side?

Love Dilbert!

I have so enjoyed every word of your Harry Potter story and know you will eventually find a good closure. Glad you have a real life that is real....I can relate to having a thousand interests and things going on all the time.

myself, I'm staying connected by checking on my numerous seedlings constantly and getting my garden boxes ready for transplanting.

Have a great Spring and hope things start settling down for you soon.
