There is no snow on the ground, not a good thing for the farming communities here on the prairies<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, a few days later, I am ready to return to a more regular writing pattern. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main writing project is volume one of a historical series that opens with a scene in France with Rollo, the Viking who becomes the first ruler of Normandy. The volume isn\u2019t about Rollo though he does have a significant role at the beginning of the work. His son, <em>Guillaume de Longue-\u00e9p\u00e9e,<\/em> has a more important role before the story shifts to recount the tale of yet another man who then becomes the central character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But before I can devote most of my time to writing new content, it is time for me to prepare my taxes. I sell books and the income must be declared as taxes. I have a pension and that means I have to pay taxes. Rather than complain about paying taxes, I have to admit that I am thankful. Why? Paying taxes means that I have money coming in. Imagine not having enough income to require paying taxes. I am blessed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We arrived home a little later than planned as we stopped in the city for a meal out with grandson number two and his significant other.
