What is it about spring?

2/22/2012

0 Comments

 
The sun is shining, there's a small yellow crocus blooming on the south side of my house, and it's almost warm today.  Of course there's a snowstorm coming in tomorrow, but the accumulation thereof will probably melt within a week.  The birds are slowly returning from their vacations.  The trees and lilacs are budding.  Soon the world will take on that unique sent of earth ready for growing.  In a few weeks that local farmer will get his tractor stuck in the mud in his field by the highway.  Ah, spring!

This time of year has an enlivening effect on me.  I don't know why.  I'm still sleep-deprived, but now I'm feeling optimistic.  I actually managed to do some writing yesterday, which felt great.  I never realize just how much I've missed it until I start again.

I vow here and now to make the most of the time left between now and the last day of school.  I will attempt to write every day.  I will continue to blog every week, sometimes maybe even twice a week.  I will start playing the guitar again.  I'd say I'm going to learn piano, but I don't want to push it.  I WILL finish The DeFord Chronicles, Part II and get Bridging The Gaps out for mass consumption before the year is out.  I am strong.  I am invincible.  I am caffeinated.  (you thought I was going to say "I am woman" didn't you?)

I call on all of my readers to encourage me, hold me accountable, nag me if necessary to keep me writing.  The support of my fans is the greatest motivator there is.  I don't write for fame.  I don't write for fortune.  I write for you.
