Hello and Happy Post Holiday,

I hope you got a lot of writing done on your break. I did and for one reason I was in the right setting to do so and I realized how helpful this was to my writing. I was able to sit out in my yard, on a sun splashed day, under the shade of an awning, feeling a nice breeze, drinking my favorite lemonade and writing while I watched my children play; this was one of the best writing days I've had in a while.

Setting can matter when writing even though it shouldn't matter; its the writing that's the point. Yet enjoy the beautiful days of writing anyway.

If you have any comments or suggestions I have a new e-mail address at: mathewsla@hotmail.com

Until next time, God willing.
