The Magic of a Storm

I love storms. I love being outside in them, being at the beach watching the waves roll and crash and I love being inside all warm and cozy while reading. I also love reading about storms. How often have you just curled up with a book, reading about the cold, stormy weather and hearing the rain lash against the windows? There is just something about storms in stories that automatically draws you in. All the good sea-faring stories have storms, many fantasy stories have epic storms. The kind that make you extremely grateful to be inside reading about them. I love reading about storms in any fictional story I read.

Do you prefer reading about storms or sun and good weather?

The Love of Fall

I am becoming very excited for the arrival of Fall. It is finally becoming my favorite time of year again. The time of year when the leaves turn brilliant colors, the rain begins and the comfiest sweaters and clothes can be worn again. It is the time of pumpkin pie and Thanksgiving. I find I am more creative in Fall and Winter, when I can hear the ring against the roof and windows and the wind howling. I love wandering along the beach during a storm, watching the anger of the sea. There is nothing quite like it. This is the time of year when you can curl up on the couch with a book and a never ending cup of tea. This is the best time of year for me to write. I love Fall.
What is your favorite thing about Fall?
