Happy first week of October!
I hope everyone had a great week! If it wasn’t great, then let’s try to focus on the positive!
Good news! The huggers amongst us were right! It’s been scientifically proven that hugging makes you feel better! Hug someone TODAY!
More good news! Congratulations to Dr. Donna Strickland for winning the Nobel Prize in Physics. In more frustrating news, it’s the first time in way too many years since a woman has won, and even more disappointing was a recent decision to deny the professor a Wikipedia page. What??? This reminds me of a post I wrote about a scientist trying to rectify this exact kind of thing.
More good news (sort of): As a former lawyer, cases of incorrect evidence (blood spatter, here) or convictions shake me to the core. I’m thankful that some good and decent and hardworking people found their way through the legal maze and are helping these cases make it back to courtrooms.
It was recently time for my family’s annual visit to the pumpkin patch. Makes my heart happy.
I saw a book blogger, Kathareads on Instagram, recently sharing her joy of the fall wardrobe. Agree! I usually treat myself to a new pair of boots. This year I went with a BedStu – major investment, but I wear them for at least 6 months of the year and will do so for many years. I wonder if my fellow GOB blogger, a Floridian, treats herself to a new pair of flip flops for fall???
Inspiration for creating characters! There’s such an interesting question here: What would my main character think of me? Shivers! Similarly, this author proposes talking directly to your protagonist with 5 conversations.
Have a great fall weekend. It’s my husband’s birthday, so we’re cold-weather golfing (husband’s favorite!). I’ll be in a sleeping bag reading with hand warmers (seriously) while he hopefully hits his best round of the year. I’m currently re-reading A is for Alibi by the lovely Sue Grafton.
Enjoy your weekend! What are you reading?
