Happy Spring Everyone!
Welcome to another IWSG post.
Thanks to the creator, Alex, and all of his remarkable and giving staff, we are here the first Wednesday of each month to help each other through our insecurities and, frankly, our writing and sometimes personal lives. If you want to join the group, please visit here to sign up!
I certainly don't know where the time is going. It's already April and the spring flowers are starting to bud. The Midwest is so pretty in the spring, especially after a frigid and snowy winter. Funny, usually after the most horrid winters, the spring flowers are glorious. With the renewal of nature, my insecurities certainly begin to vanish, with new hope in life and so much to motivate me to write. As I mentioned in my post from February, I seem to recluse and settle in winter with very few things to inspire after the holidays. That is why I love spring so much. I have a few new projects buzzing around in my head. But first, I need to clean up the old foliage so the new growth can really flourish. With temps still cold at night, in about another week I will be able to start working on my grounds which ALWAYS helps motivate me. There is something about communing with nature...we all need to do so. It is part of life. If you feel blocked or stuck, GO OUTSIDE and absorb all the wonders of spring. Birds are chirping like mad nesting and waiting for the arrival of their newborns. Trees are budding, and the earth is slowly turning from brown to green.
This year is full of new adventures for me, and I can't wait to share them all with you. More on that later, but for now I'll be focusing on my new ideas, and getting them written down. I am truly looking forward to doing it, especially after such a LONG writing absence.
I wish all of you a HAPPY SPRING and for tons of inspiration in the forthcoming months.
Sending you all a VIRTUAL hug to start off this season on a positive note...

I get inspired when the weather warms up here too. Thankfully, it's finally warming up in Michigan, and I've been getting out to clean up my yard. I can't wait to hear more about what you're working on.
It may be the midwest in your neck of the woods it's springtime, but where I live, apparently, we're still in the middle of winter.
I always thought spring was nice when I lived in the Midwest. This year in Florida we had a strangely warm Feb and March and now April is pretty warm, too. We need the air conditioning already. I find it relaxing to work in my yard, but soon it will be too hot to do anything other than mow.
Love,
Janie
Happy spring Michael. Wishing you successful writing and success with your gardening, too.
Even though I'm more of an autumn person, I've still always liked spring and the sense of renewal it brings with the sunshine, fresh greenery and bright coloured flowers. And, even though I write a lot of horror, it still inspires me!
Happy Spring to you as well!
Glad it's perking up your spirit! Spring has definitely hit here full force.
It's a great time to get inspired. Here's to happy writing and fresh ideas.
Like ideas, flowers are popping up everywhere!
I feel the same way about spring. A new start. Enjoy working in your yard.
I appreciate your optimism. Out here in Los Angeles the changes aren't quite as noticeable, but it has seemed like a colder rainier winter than ever. I'm looking forward to the weather warming up.

Hi Michael.
Glad spring has put a spring in your step. All agog at your new project/s!
The sunlight coming in the windows, the daffodils in bloom -- lovely. The sneezing, water eyes, skin crawling, not so much. 😁
Hi Michael - looking forward to hearing more uplifting news from you ... Spring is always wonderful - though ours is 'chilly' and very wet at the moment! Cheers Hilary
