Writing a novel is a love affair.

I'm at that point in writing where I need to remember why I'm in love with the characters, and why I want to tell their stories.

Staying IN LOVE is part of it.

Eerie to find bits of a July 20, 1940 Christian Science Monitor newspaper when I was cleaning our old cabin. Hitler is alive and pardoning Belgian prisoners.

Rediscovering my jewelry: beaded porcupine quill earrings from 1992 or 93. They are so light and lovely to wear.
And yes, I'm old enough to have my own vintage!

The first chunk of pages of my new novel tacked up on closet doors. One of hardest things for me is keeping the whole of a novel in mind as I am working in it. Thought I'd try this for some perspective.

Some of the beads in this box have been around for 40 years. I still like poking through them. Sometimes I add a few beads, sometimes I take beads to use in projects.

1970s tin of family recipes I saved when I cleaned out my family's house. I will be making Old Welsh Cookies on a griddle this coming week, but I'll substitute Crisco for lard. They feature currants and nutmeg. My favorite cookie.
