I told myself I wouldn’t write about winter weather so much this year. But here we are on the verge of another snowstorm. Instead of bemoaning the bitter cold, I’m trying to focus on the benefits: lots of time to read fiction, lots of time to research tropical vacation destinations, lots of time to write, lots of time to revise one of those first drafts that I have neglected since writing “the end.”
Repeat after me: Winter is super. Winter is the best.
