Summer is a time for enjoying the outdoors. I love the outdoors and nature. I like having my windows open day and night for fresh air. And while I’m not a fan of yard work in general, I’m finally starting to get a few nice flowers going so that my yard is more than just a bland expanse of grass and weeds. 

Actual summer, though, is not my favorite. I love a nice sunny spring day, but when the extreme heat and relentless sun of summer hits, I’m indoors and pining away for fall and winter. In the heat of late July and August, I have to do yard work/errands/cleaning/all other work in the early morning or late at night, because it’s just too hot to move around during the day (I have no air conditioning in my house, like many people in my area). So sitting in the dark in front of a fan with my laptop is the best thing to do in the summer heat. I often get more writing done in the summer than spring or fall.

This summer, I’m working on the final edits and publication prep for the first book of an epic fantasy trilogy. (You can subscribe to my newsletter to get updates on when it will be published). I also got my sci-fi novella published on other platforms besides Amazon, and I’m working on getting other books published wide (non-Amazon), as well. 

Summer can be a busy time (whether you’re spending it indoors or outdoors). Hopefully you are getting a lot of reading or writing done in this season – or doing something else fun! As for me, I’ll be holed up with a fan, reading and writing till the weather cools off.
