Just as I was beginning to think I was going to need to go rent a boat charter to keep my sanity - not that I had any money for a boat charter, mind you - the weather takes a turn and we’re getting temps in the 50s here in good ol’ Minnesota. At last.
Now, I was born and raised and have spent most of my life in Minnesota. I enjoy it here. But the long winters? Well, let’s just say I find spring to be a lot more creatively inspiring. When winter hits, my creative mind wants to go into hibernation, pure and simple. Once it gets above freezing, the ice breaks and the creative juices begin flowing again.
I think seasons affect all creative people. Sure, some folks are more inspired by some seasons than others, and the preferred seasons vary from writer to writer. But for me, there’s nothing like the hint of spring to lift my spirits and get me writing again.
