Welcome to #MondayMusings with a review of my #authorlife this past week
Where shall
I start? It has been a relatively quiet week really. The weather is still determining if
it wants to still be summer or shift to fall. It is nice in the
afternoons with the nights being cool enough that I have the heat on to keep
the chill out of my brick home.
I belong to
my local library book club, Chapter Chat, and this month everyone is reading
the same book. Stephen King is not an author I’ve ever read nor had any desire
to, BUT I have to say that this one is right up my alley. 11/22/63 is a time travel leading up to the assassination of JFK. It’s a very long book at 800+
pages, I’m only on page 119, and since Chapter Chat meets the last Monday of
the month it may seem like I have plenty of time. However, this library loan is
a library loan, which means my library borrowed it from another library so it
could loan it to me. I have to have it back on the 18th (not sure if
this one can be renewed or not given it’s loaned to my library) so I’ve been
spending most of what would be my writing time reading. I have found the
characters engaging and I’m now invested in their journey.
Family life
wise, my beautiful youngest granddaughter took a tour of the local tech school
last week for Advisory class. She’s decided that she either wants to be in the
hospitality field or a graphic designer/artist. I was surprised by the first
one as she’s not overly outgoing or social, but the artist side of her is leaning
more towards her second choice. My oldest granddaughter and her husband is
expecting their second child around Easter! Finally, my great-granddaughter
gets her wish for either a baby sister or brother.
On the
writing side of life, I do have a good start on the next chapter of Deceitful
Promises (a Gilded Age romantic mystery/suspense). I probably won’t get
fully back to writing it until next month. As of last night (11/11/24) I am now
on Bluesky, an alternative to X (fka Twitter). I’m
still figuring out how it works but if you’re a social media person, pop on
over and follow me.
I wish you
all a very happy Thanksgiving and pray that you can spend it with the ones you
love.
Love,
Maxine
