Hi! Do you have a small case of the winter blues? I know I've had a few days where I was just down in the dumps. The cold weather, the after holiday rush, well, it made me tired. After a few days of cheese puffs and countless episodes of CSI Miami, I decided to fight my blues with writing.

Write yourself out of the blues and the winter weather. This is the perfect time to write that sunny day story or work on your summer nonfiction articles. Beat the blues with words!

Have a great week! Stay warm!
