This Week @ Monday Creek: Ducks!

Summer is in full swing. The temperatures have been sultry, calling for fans and extra water. Beyond the everyday farm work and chores, we celebrate summer and fun things to do! 

Since my last post, we have released several new books including Wait Until I Grow Up children's literature written and illustrated by Celeste Parsons, No One Cheers for Goliath: My Leadership Story a memoir by Timothy J. Brown, Ph.D., Hard Way to Go: The Horse of a Lifetime a memoir by NC Matheny. There are several more books in the works for 2021 which we are excited about. Stay connected for release dates/events. Find out more on our website www.mondaycreekpublishing.com. 

Many writing opportunities have arisen and, like everyone else, juggling everything can be difficult sometimes, but I have turned work away so I can create a greater focus on larger projects rather than take on many tiny projects. The pandemic has changed the dynamics of writing and marketing - and just about everything else. Seems we are managing well with the changes in the writing world and find new doors opening every day. Deciding which door to open, if to open it at all, is more time-consuming than the work itself. I would rather take the quirky, road-less-traveled work than the easy run-of-the-mill work. Bring it on!

We had a heavy thunderstorm today. Since we couldn't work outside and I needed a break from writing/marketing, we ran errands. On our way home, we decided to stop at the Logan Antique Mall. I collect and reuse vintage postcards, so I like to stop at the mall twice a year to see what's new. They have vintage everything, including books and items that can inspire any writer. If you're visiting the Hocking Hills region, I am sure you will find a hidden treasure at the mall. Make sure you look in every nook. 

 After we came home, we checked on our new ducks - Gigantor, Snickers, Ani, and Sly! They came last week from a local family who needed to downsize their flock. All of our new ducks are drakes. They are acclimating well and seem to like their new home. Tinker, our cat, is infatuated by them and likes to watch them waddle and swim. They are fun to watch.

Enjoy Saturday!
