Apparently the ground hogs of the world were split down the middle, with half saying, YES SPRING IS HERE! The other half, those that need to be stewed in a rich wine sauce, say we’ve got six more weeks of winter.
Technically, they’re right of course.

January was a busy month, as much for my own writing, as getting Belfire and my client sorted out. We may actually have a path forward now that the snow drifts are out of the way!
I participated in eight challenges so far, with one more to go. Of those nine in total, I’ve completed six; one is ongoing through February, one finishes on the 31st and one is running only this Friday. I’m hoping to see another 2500 words by Friday at midnight, which will put my count for January …

The menagerie is starting to drive me mad… I think we’re at a gazillion cats, 2 dogs, 4 rats, a cockatiel and a fighting fish now. Pretty sure it’s going to be one cat, maybe two, and one rat down though, soon.
