Meandering on Monday with Janet Lane Walters #BWLAuthor #MFRWAuthor #Reading #Writing #Thoughts

 Meander 1 - Have finished the first three books of Anne Perry's Monk series. My publisher has released most of the Jnuary books and I;ve been reading them slowly. Finished Deal L Hovey's Grave Survey - as always he brings an intricately woven mystery with nice interaction among the characters. Read Rikka by Joan Soggie This story is about a woman's life from her early years and she moves from Norway to Canada. There are sad and happy parts but the character is intriguing. Have started the third new book but more about that next week.

Meander 2 - Thoughts _ ThoughI should take the Christmas tree down I've decided to leave it up for awhile. I'm hoping it will bring abit of joy into my life when I think about what's happening in the political world and how many of those who are supposed to be honest politicians are just in it for the power and to worship a toad. While frogs may turn into princes, toads never do. Snot today but too late for the holiday.

Meander 3 - Writing. I have finished the rough draft of the Committee of Angels. Now I must start making this mishmash of words into a story. Some stories come easy and some come hard. This one has come hard but I want to make it shine.

Meandering on Monday with Janet Lane Walters #MFRWAuthor #Poem #Writing #Christmas Tree

Meander 1 - Poem - Complaint From a Sick bed

Who would have ever thought
My knees would be rubbery knaves
Who would refuse to go the way
I wished they would go.
Who would have ever thought
Am ankles would quiver and quake
When up I try to get
I would like a can of spray starch
To firm up my resolve

Meander 2 - Decorating the Christmas Tree - The decorating has begun and I look at the large box of ornaments to put on the branches of the Christmas tree. I have put at least fifty on the tree and there are hundreds to go. I wonder how many days this will take. There are 10 days until Christmas. I sure hope I will finish in time. When the effort is finished and the lights are on, the tree will look wonderful and soon there will be four more ornaments to place. There are seven dragons but I can only find six. I'll keep looking since I'm sure they are there.

Meander 3 - Writing - I'm going to have to draw back on my latest WIP. There is a large problem in the chapter outline and a new complication that has snuck in but it's important to the hero's development and I have to figure how it will be worked in. I will manage this in time so I'll start looking at the seven chapters already blocked in and see where changes should be made.
