The summer has hit Southern Ontario with a vengeance. It is WARM outside… and as somebody who almost never notices the heat, that’s a statement of some weight.

I like the warm. It makes it a lot easier for me to do work in my basement (where I write) when it’s not freezing, I like running and the air not hurting my lungs, and I’m quite insensitive to humidity. So summer is kind of my favourite time of year in many ways.

Except for bugs. I hate bugs. But other than that, summer is great!

It’s kind of opposite to many people, I suppose. I am way more productive in the summer than I am in the winter. You’d think the traditional time of “Staying Inside and Reading” (Winter) would be better for me as a writer, but for whatever reason, it tends to be the summer. Weird.

Anyway, I have a laundry list of work to get done (not least of which is the novel, which I am hoping to get to 20K words by this weekend!), so I should enjoy the warm weather as best I can: by staying inside and writing!

Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
