Over the last two weeks, an idea for a new #WIP has been brewing in my brain. The main character wandered in, nearly fully formed. So today, I'm going to start writing about her. ✍️⌨️📖

What are you working on today, friends?

Recently did a late summer multi-day hiking trip in the Rocky Mountains. I came back feeling inspired to write and tell stories about these majestic places. Here are a few of my favourite views.

Happy first day of Autumn, to all those who celebrate. 😉🍂
#equinox #autumn

It was a perfect summer weekend of hiking in the mountains. Sunny, warm without being hot, and a light breeze to cool us as we walked. 24 km in total.

I did not bloom to be seen.
I bloomed because
it was time.

Hope yours will be in full bloom soon!

That sounds great - thanks so much!

To this day, I still remember my parents and my older sister reading with me when I was a little girl. 🥰📖

Gorgeous poem.

As long as the rain holds off I'll be out in the garden for most of the day. If anyone needs me, I'll be pulling weeds, clipping back dead growth, and plotting out where to plant more pollinator-friendly flowers. 🌿🌷🌱

What are you up to today?

#Friday #Garden

A lake with forested mountains rising up from the lake shore and big fluffy white clouds in a blue sky.

I find that nothing inspires and rejuvenates me quite like some time spent in nature.

What inspires your writing?

It's Bloomin' May! - Yvonne Evans Author The last few months have been quite a whirlwind around these parts. Lately I’ve finally felt like I can look up and take a breathe of fresh air, which came with the realization that it’s May! MAY! Her...

New blog post up on my website: yvonneevansauthor.com/its-bloomin-...

It would make my little writer heart so happy if you'd give it a read! 🥰🌷🌸

Looks delicious!

A quote: "She read books as one would breathe air, to fill up and live" by Annie Dillard, is shown on a background photo with a green wall and a stack of books.

Reading is essential to the human experience. It helps us walk a kilometer or two in someone else's shoes, transports us to realms far away from ours, and encourages us to think more deeply about the world we inhabit.

Just finished reading 'Demon Copperhead' by Barbara Kingsolver and I'm not sure I'll ever get over it.

All excellent suggestions! Encouraging young readers requires regular effort and sets them up for lifelong success! 🥰📖

What a gorgeous shot. 😍

How lovely!

Thank you - I'm happy to be here. 🙂

Thank you! 😊

A Christmas cactus with bright pink blooms.

I think our little Christmas cactus is confused, blooming again in May... but it sure is pretty! 🙂🙃😍🤪

A sunlit trail through the woods where trees are blooming with new spring leaves in a very bright green.

Spring has finally arrived here in the north! A lovely day spent hiking and admiring the newly sprung greenery all around. 🌿🍃🌳

This is our first spring in many years living in a home with an actual yard. It needs some work, but we'll get there.

And I am just so excited to be working on our own little garden today. 🌷🥕🍅🌿

Went on several walks in the spring sunshine. That was good.

Sorry to hear that, Beth. I hope things improve for you soon. You're not alone! This week: I didn't get a job I applied for, I found out another job opening I was waiting for won't be coming, and my boss let me know in no uncertain terms that the files I lead are considered low priority by execs...

What's a book or series you've been loving lately? I'll go first:

I am loving the Shady Hollow series by Juneau Black. I have found the characters and setting to be both cozy and comforting amidst all the uncertainty these days.
