Sunshine and Flowers - April News

It feels like I just wrote a news post, my oh my how this year is speeding by, we are already one third done with 2015! That’s crazy! It’s also technically spring, and you know what that means, it’s time to clean up the porch and get my writing retreat back up and running. In the next few weeks Hubs and I will begin planning what we will be growing this season and clearing out our patio. This year we are a bit tighter on space, so we will need to be more conservative with what we plant. As always, twitter and facebook will have some pretty pictures (sadly, without smell-o-vision) once we get some stuff planted.

A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post about my husband and his relationship with my writing, that topic was inspired by an article I found by Katherine Heiny on How To Be Married To A Writer via Huffington Post. I decided to feature the article here instead of in the main blog, mainly due to how different the article’s author and myself use people in our lives in our writing. However, it’s still an interesting quick read and wanted to share it with you.

One of my favorite geeky pleasures is Sherlock.  I like the Robert Downey Jr. ones, the BBC one, and I love the books. This past holiday season I even found a copy for a dollar at my local Half Priced Books and giggled with glee while I rescued it from among the hundred of other previously loved stories. But what’s really up with our fascination with Sherlock and his character archetype, well, Josh Cook’s article may have the answer.
