Welcome to "Why I'm Not Writing." We all know that the only thing writers like doing more than writing is avoiding writing. So every Friday I list five things that have distracted me from my writing that week.
I also encourage you to share with me what made you procrastinate this week by posting with #whyimnotwriting on Twitter, Facebook & Instagram, or share in the comments below. I'll feature my favorites with everyone here.

Meal Prep
In working hard to get healthy and eat right this year, I’ve been doing a lot of meal prepping so I don’t eat out as much. I’ve probably gone a little bit crazy about it, if my husband is to be believed. I’ve found soups, mason jar salads and casseroles . If you have some favorite meal prep recipe, please let this newby know!
Review Ready
I’ve had a lot of requests for reviews and interviwes come in lately and am working hard to sort through them. If I haven’t responded to you yet, please be patient, as the response has been overwhelming. I know for sure that I’ll have a great selection of books and interviews for my readers this year.
Modest Heroes
Daniel and I went out to Studio Ponoc’s short-film collection, called Modest Heroes, in theaters last night. It was a delightful, touching and beautifully animated group of 15 minute films that I’d recommend to anyone, young or old.
Wintery Weather Ahead
My corner of North Carolina is due to get some more ice and snow this weekend. Luckily, we shoudl be getting much less than last time, but we still need to be prepared for the worst, which has taken up some of my time this week.
