Housecleaning


Today is Monday, also known as Housecleaning Day. While scrubbing and dusting, and vacuuming, I will also be working on my novels.

How? you wonder. Say I'm cleaning the kitchen. As I work, I imagine my characters' kitchens and food items that might be found cooking on the stove or staying cool in their refrigerators. I also ponder their attitudes toward housecleaning, since the way we keep our homes often reveals many things about us. If I'm putting laundry away, I reflect on my characters' closets. What is inside--both literally and figuratively?

While cleaning your dwellings, you can also be a writer.

Happy cleaning!
