Rain, rain, and more rain…

February 11, 2026 by Jina Bacarr in category Jina’s Book Chat, Writing tagged as book, Deadline, rain

We writers live in a different world when we’re on deadline… nothing gets dusted, wash piles up, dishes done only when we run out of coffee cups.

I’m struggling (as always) with this book, trying to fit all the pieces together; my research books look like I’m building the pyramids, and my characters are yelling at me to hurry up.

Still, that’s no excuse for being late here, but I am. Late. But not I’m giving up, so here’s a short video about the lovely rain we’re having.

And a poem to go with it.
