I don’t know why I expect to be more productive in the summer. Nothing really changes for me. Nothing gets easier. I mean, I don’t have children, so I don’t have a lifestyle change with kids home come summer, and I’m not a teacher so I don’t have summers off. I work the same full time hours year round. So there’s really nothing different. Summer brings no more hours in the day than any other holiday.
So why do I expect to get more writing done come summer? Summertime brings warm weather, a rarity living in New York state, believe me. With the warm weather, I want to read more. If I’m writing a book set in Colonial New York, such as I’m doing now, I want to travel, visit the places I’m writing about, get lost in our state’s rich Colonial history. This takes time from writing. I also like to garden. I could spend hours pulling weeds, and I usually do. It’s one of the most relaxing things for me. Plus this year, my mom and I have decided to start canning and making homemade jelly together. More time from writing.
But the warm weather comes and goes so fast. Before you know it, I’ll be wrapped down in goose down with the laptop by the fire. Then I’ll get more writing done. :)
