My 2019 novel had the working title – The Prime. I ended up publishing it with that title unchanged. Last Fall I formatted it, recorded it and made it available for purchase. Then I took a break and had a nice rest. Now I’ve picked up my pen again and begun writing my 2020 novel with the working title – Sunward. It’s a sequel to The Prime and will be the completion of The Plainsrunner trilogy.
Back on my exercise ball as I write first thing in the morning, it feels pretty good. It’s always a concern when I get back to it. Will it still be there? Will the words still come? I’m happy to report, so far, so good. I gave myself a break, easing into it with 500 words a day. I’ll push it up to 750 next week. That seems to be my natural level.
The sun is shining this morning. We’ve had an unusually warm winter so far. Also, the weather has been bypassing us, dumping snow on areas north of us while leaving us bare and brown. The forecast calls for a cold snap next week. I don’t feel prepared for that.

We are getting minus 27 C.and down from there. Wind chill next week is reported to come in at minus 48 Centigrade.
We are becoming acclimatised to cold weather . Layer up, put on mitts instead of gloves, boots instead of shoes, and away you go. Don’t forget your toque!
I still have my arctic parka if I need it. You’re getting that arctic outbreak that’s headed our way, but we’re only forecast for minimums in the mid-twenties. Today, the skiff of snow is melting off the deck. Must remember to plug in the car next week, though.
