Today she shares her tips for making the best of winter storms and what to work on for writers when you&#8217;re snowed in. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Admit it: You kinda like being snowed in. We live fast-paced lives that sometimes move even faster when we leave our day jobs at night and take on the duties of our families and homes, so it can be nice to have a forced break from the daily grind. But what if you want to use that time for your second job: writing? Below are some ideas for keeping busy when winter storms keep you homebound.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><b>Back up<\/b>. Maybe you never had time to back up your data. Or maybe you picked a computer known to rarely crash. These excuses won\u2019t work anymore. When you find yourself snowed in, you suddenly have hours, maybe even days, of time to fill, and nowhere to run off to. And every computer crashes eventually. If you haven\u2019t done this already, your first snow day project should be to invest in a good hard drive\u2014or at the very least a good cloud account or two\u2014and back up all your important data. Trust me, you don\u2019t want to spend two full days snapping at everyone who talks to you while you run around performing CPR on your laptop.<\/p>\n<p><b>Clean up. <\/b>Once you&#8217;ve got the important stuff backed up, delete whatever you no longer need. You\u2019ll not only make room on your hard drive, but in your brain as well. And both might just work a little faster afterward.<\/p>\n<p><b>Read.<\/b> This is something we never seem to have time for, yet it\u2019s one of the most important things we can do for our writing. Is there a writing craft book collecting dust on your shelf? A classic you&#8217;ve always meant to read? A new release from your favorite writer? Light a candle and cuddle up. You&#8217;ve got nothing but time.<\/p>\n<p><b>Edit.<\/b> I can hear the groans already. But really, what better time is there to do the dreaded task of editing than the uninterrupted few days of weather-imposed house arrest?<\/p>\n<p><b>Write. <\/b>It shouldn&#8217;t even bear saying, but because I frequently have this issue myself, I\u2019ll say it anyway. Other than backing up your data, writing is the most important project you can take on over your snow days. All of the other projects listed\u2014including the data backup\u2014serve just to support your writing, so whatever you do while you\u2019re home, WRITE.<\/p>\n<p><b>Muse. <\/b>If you can\u2019t manage anything else\u2014if you have several small children snowed in as well, for example (like me)\u2014then the least you can do is collect inspiration for your writing. Sometimes all that means is being present in your world. Engage. Build snowmen (or icemen) with your kids. Make hot cocoa and sip around the fire. Live your life and take notes for the lives of your characters.<\/p>\n<p>How do you like to spend your snow days?
