REading A big storm knocked it over by Laurie Colwin/Colwyn

I decided to read this book which I purchased at the big used book faire put on by the Gatineau libraries every year.
I'm reading and analyzing it as I take a bit of a break from writing my novel. She passed away in 1992. I looked her up. She was 48, my age, when she passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack. It could happen. Gosh. I had better get off my butt and do things. Is it time for a bucket list?

When I'm writing my novel, I feel as engaged and as enthralled with its characters and setting as when I read a novel by Maeve Binchy or Rosamund Pilcher, mes auteurs fétiches.

I have to work on the novel's plot. I might try the index card idea.
