We've really been spoiled these past few days with some awesome hockey games. Despite the busy NHL schedule, I was still able to make great progress with my writing. Does anyone else work hard to balance their hobbies with their profession?

Watched Sleepless in Seattle last night for the first time as a rom-com enjoyer. It was far more tropey than I expected, especially with the soulmates/reincarnation angle. Loved that. You can really feel the roots of very common tropes people use nowadays in a film like this.

I recently started reading short stories amidst my busy schedule. Can an author develop characters & build chemistry with a limited word count? That's the real challenge, & it's one not every author can achieve.
