Writing Again

This post is long overdue! First of all, I was away in Germany for Christmas and then I went down with a virus over New Year. Once back on my feet, I found myself in the middle of moving home. A few years ago, I downsized when moving to Ireland. Now I needed to downsize again as I have moved to a one-bed apartment from a spacious two-bed. I had been using the spare room as an office and also somewhere to dump everything until I figured out what to do with it. This is the view from that room where you can see the estuary.

Actually, since taking this photo, the old buildings have been demolished to make way for a new supermarket.
So here I am, settling in to my new surroundings and enjoying it all. Instead of the sea on my doorstep, I have a garden view from the living room window (which is where I write). Yes, I miss the close proximity to the sea but it is only a five-minute walk away.
Now that I am finally getting back to routine, I have started writing again. I am currently working on a Christmas-themed novel. It is getting more difficult to imagine those dark winter evenings when outside my window the birds are twittering to welcome spring, the daffodils are creating splashes of colour and the days are getting longer. Which reminds me, I must get down to writing. I try to produce 1,000 to 2,000 words a day even though I might delete them all again or edit out half of them. But that's the writer's trade as every scribe will confirm.
I wish all my readers a fun weekend.
