How will the Russia ie. Ukraine invasion affect books?
Russia. It’s what’s trending. https://www.nbcnews.com/world/russia-ukraine-news Good day, friends. I hope this finds you doing well. I am sitting here thinking how this Russian invasion is going to affect a lot of things pertaining to life in general and well, maybe books and the book industry specifically. There is a lot of talk going around about how the supply chain issues that the US is experiencing will get a lot worse.

Setting the mood for our writing
Most writers today say they have to have a certain place, or a certain beverage, or a certain mood overall for their writing time. I get it. I may even fall into that category. Here are some things that seem to rank big on how we go about this tedious task. Dark and stormy night The whole dreary, gray, rainy mood can be captured on…wait for it…a dark and stormy day/night. But if you need this and the weather won’t cooperate (and it doesn’t very often in Florida!) then check out some of the Youtube videos that offer the sounds
