How's it Going?

Hi all,

Well, here we go again, starting tonight and into much of tomorrow.  More snow and a bit more than we've been getting.  They're saying 4-7 inches. I was going to go to the grocery store tomorrow morning, but now I'm not so sure.  Oh, I don't have to drive because my husband will take me, but I just hate going out of doors in the cold and snowy weather.  Well, I'll make that decision tomorrow.
For today, it's drizzling outside, but it's not too cold out there.

I am so excited because I have started working on my new novel.  Oh, I will still have research to do, but I am so glad to have started it.  It feels like so long a time since I've written a novel.  The last book I did was my book of poems, which I truly enjoyed writing.  I just miss the feelings I get when I'm working on a new novel.  Sometimes the ideas hit me at strange times, often when I first go to bed at night.  I think I should keep a tablet and pencil by my bed, so I can write down my thoughts.
My goal for this novel is to have it completed and published by November.  I think I can do that, if I stay focused.  That gives me ten months, so hopefully, I will finish much sooner.  Time will tell!

The novel's title is:  "Prolonged Uncertainty" and will revolve around two close female friends and how they get drawn into a 'cold case'.  The setting is Boothbay Harbor, Maine and the 'cold case' happened on Squirrel Island, which is a few miles from the coast of Maine.  Keep tuned in for my progress.

I am still working on my embroidery pieces.  Right now I'm creating gift card or money holders for my family for this Christmas.  I now have six of one type finished and five of another one.  I just can't tell you how doing embroidery work relaxes me.  I can spend hours doing embroidery, which is a good thing, because it takes me at least a few hours to complete one of them. 

What have you all been up to lately?  I do hope you have been doing something creative.  I am so happy to know that two of my Grandsons have creative abilities also.  That makes me a proud Grandma.  One is a budding photographer at age 17 and the other, at 20, is writing his own songs and putting them to music.  Now, I am proud of all six of them and I love them very much.
