By now you probably know that I love to work jigsaw puzzles.
As a child, I worked the block style puzzles with ten or more large pieces made of wood.
These days, the puzzles are more challenging. Yet, along with the frustration comes a sense of accomplishment.
As the pieces in an array of colors and shapes connect, I know the end result will be a completed picture.
Years ago, before I ever thought about writing a book, an old co-worker asked a question about my puzzling hobby that stuck with me.
“Why would you waste your time working on something that you end up taking apart?
Why wouldn’t you write a book or something?”
Six books later, his words bring a smile to my face.
Did he know something I didn’t know?
Probably not. But I do know that over the years, sitting in front of my puzzle has helped me to work through some challenging edits.
Do you work jigsaw puzzles? Or do they drive you bananas?
If you’d like a chance to win the puzzle or a $10 Amazon gift card, send me an email with your answer along with your preference and you’re entered!
Wishing you all a safe and peaceful holiday season!
As always, thank you for reading.

When injured professional bull rider Luke Beckett returns to his hometown to recover, he doesn’t expect his B and B host and physical therapist to be his first and only love, Meg Brennan. He’s also unprepared for Meg’s adorable triplets to steal his heart. Luke’s past has him doubting he’s good enough for Meg and the children, but they might be just what the doctor ordered to help him heal…
So many favorite things. Can't just pick one. Going for a long walk in the city and then in the forest with my guy. Walking for miles with a friend. Reading for hours. Writing. Watching my granddaughter, who just performed as Clara in ballet The Nutcracker. On toes!! These are my favorite things. <3
Hi, Jill - I just read your Favourite Things post and loved it. Sadly, that post would not let me comment. (And I promise that I have been good). :D But it did send me over here to this equally fabulous post. I tend to only work on puzzles when we have family members staying over. I just received a beautiful puzzle in the mail today...just in time for family arriving!
My preference is anything at all!
