This post was going to be about how to pick yourself up and continue writing after a devastating disappointment such as this but my morning email brought a pleasant surprise... I've been asked to guest blog at the International Christian Fiction Writers (ICFW) blog on May 31st and I think that will be the theme of my post over there. I'll leave you with this photo taken just a few days ago. As you can see, we awoke to a heavy frost and still no leaves on the trees. Oh my blossoms, where are you this spring?
