December 4 question – Let’s play a game. Imagine. Role-play. How would you describe your future writer self, your life and what it looks and feels like if you were living the dream? Or if you are already there, what does it look and feel like? Tell the rest of us. What would you change or improve?
The awesome co-hosts for the December 4 posting of the IWSG are Tonja Drecker, Beverly Stowe McClure, Nicki Elson, Fundy Blue, and Tyrean Martinson!

Funny how well this topic ties into Monday’s Blog hop.
So let’s pretend. I’ve changed one little thing and suddenly I’m a best selling author. I no longer have to work my day job and I have all the time in the world to write. Hey, this is a dream, right?
I’m living in a mountain cabin that has a creek and a small lake nearby. I love to write sitting by the flowing water, and the lake is big enough for my husband to fish in. The cabin has enough room that we aren’t cramped when my daughter and her family come to visit. Of course, it magically has internet despite being in the middle of nothing. And speaking of magic, the house would clean itself.
Because I have all the time in the world to write, I’ve started my series about the gritty female PI in Pittsburgh. It’s a lot edgier than the Harmony Duprie Mysteries, but my audience loves her. too. And I’m even fitting in more of the Free Wolves books.
Oh, and I get to travel to writers’ conferences and book signings more often. That way I can still improve my craft, meet existing fans, and hopefully make new ones.
That sounds pretty darn good to me! What am I missing? I’ll take suggestions in the comments!
Love. It. But I know you’re going to write those stories with or without the cabin…am I right?
I am going to try! The time to do it is just a lot more limited. 🙁
