I should be writing today, but the sunshine and breeze and blooming dogwoods are making that really difficult. So instead, I’m sitting on the patio with my laptop, pretending to work but really looking at some film scans and staring off into the distance.

I’m looking at it this way—there are only so many days each year when the temperature is perfect, the skies are clear and blue, and most importantly, there are no mosquitoes. So I’ll take advantage while I can.

On the plus side, all that daydreaming resulted in an exciting new idea for the current WIP. I’ll call that a win.

Is spring making it difficult for you to concentrate?
What do you do when nice weather beckons—
buckle down and work or give in and go play?
