Writing in a Winter.... Wonderland?

Writing goes slowly. As the holiday season sneaks up on me, I find I'm lumped with dealing with things that I really didn't want to deal with - like snow. You'd think, being a Canadian, I'd be used to snow.  Heck no. I want to get my butt off this continent and get some place where three inches of the white crap shuts things down for a day or two. Not here, where six inches of the stuff in three hours doesn't even hugely dent everyone's spirits - it just causes the bloody bendy buses to get caught on turns. 

But at least progress is being made. Hard to believe that this whole story started with just an opening that popped into my mind (and is now no longer the opening, haha) and the climax of the story, which is going to be a shocker. I only hope that I can carry it off the way I see it in my mind's eye. 

Also working on the site behind the scenes, which has slowed the writing. It's hard changing gears from reading code to writing English. It is, to me, similar to speaking several languages, one tends to code switch. Sadly, HTML and CSS don't switch up as easily as French and English or English and German or Gaelic. Plus, people tend to look at you funny if you express yourself using brackets...

If nothing else, the inclement weather that is going to come and has been will provide some good quality excuses for holing up and writing until the words won't come any more.
