I walked my two miles this morning in the cold with some spotty but cold winds blowing. I almost turned around for home but stayed the course.
And I thought, “Staying the course is a choice.” When the winds blow cold, should we run for cover? When the winds don’t blow, nary a breeze, do we not act at all? When the winds blow warm, do we think it’s an invite to just laze along? Often when I’m writing, i do not have writer’s block but sometimes I feel a slowing down. Is it lack of motivation or perhaps physical or emotional fatigue? I don’t know. What I do know is the spirit to proceed is built into my soul and I continue. The journey of writing on those days is more difficult, but i still write. I stay the course.
Today January 7th the day after ‘Little Christmas’, the day of reckoning in the aftermath of violence and turmoil, I say, stay the course, and find a way toward affecting some common goals. Believe in the possibility of unity despite the scars left by dissension. I don’t know which side of the aisle from whence you travel, stay the course and bring back a loving, constitutional and law abiding America.

Kathleen lives with her husband Joe and their dog Othello midst their large family in Springfield, Massachusetts.
"My love affair with plots, murder, mystery, spies and, in general, with crime novels began at an early age. I read and read – probably have read 2,000 crime novels since then. Even at an early age, I developed my own plots if only to cover up my misdeeds to the chagrin of my family and teachers. Some less creative called it fibbing!
Now I write from the love of plot – of people and their ways –of life – of philosophy – about crime –about the sociopath/psychopath."
