Thus far, it’s been a glorious summer in many ways. I’m working to cherish the peaceful moments I can snag in my garden. There are several places to sit in cooler shade as the sun travels from east to west. Each offers a unique view of the plants.
There are days when I have too many creative ideas swirling around in my head. They swirl around, like a swarm of butterflies, vying for my attention.
Why do bad things happen, or what we perceive to be ‘bad ’? Sometimes the challenges become so overwhelming.
Writing is in my hard-wiring. There’s no escape. And, I wouldn’t want it any other way. The Elen story proves it over and over again, as do the other stories crowding my head. I spend moments in wonder as the Elen story unfolds, and I hope abundantly that I put what’s in my head onto paper to be a beloved read.
Thank you for the recent donations. We’re working hard to make this dream of Scotland and the dream of a book come to fruition. Two helpful books in my research for Elen are: “The Domestic Life of Scotland in the 18th Century” by Marorie Plant and “Agnes Finnie, the Witch of Potterrow Port” by Mary…
