As I have admitted to earlier I have fallen in love with Cozy mysteries.

They are not great literature.

They are forumalic.

They are not very scary, they are not very deep and they have a sweet romance (usually a charming or so handsome man).

And they are tons of escapist fun. Real world gone for a couple of hours.

The current one that I am reading (freebie) has some minor spelling mistakes and a few missing words, but nothing too excessive. I'm about halfway through. And the premise is basically ridiculous.

Canadian woman inherits a castle (with the funds to fix it up!) in Normandy, France.

Right. Okay, but right. I'm going to go ahead and buy into this because it is fun (I do wonder though that the dog doesn't seem to be walked much and does the cat have a litter box? But okay, I digress).

It is fun. It is fun to think about what you would do with a 24 room castle and a humongous property. (She's going to turn it into inn/restaurant/antique store!)

Would you live there? Rent out rooms? Have gardens? What would you do with a castle? 

And I'm not holding you to her castle. What does your castle look like?

Write six things about yourself that make you you but there is a small catch.

One thing needs to be about
  1. Your body (physical you)
  2. Your heart (emotional you)
  3. Your mind (intellectual you)
  4. Your spirit (ethical you)
  5. Your relationship with others (can be anyone or even any other creature)
  6. Your relationship with things

None have to be unique that only you do, but encapsulates how you view the world and your place in it.

For instance, physically you may write about a birth mark or how your left pinky toe is different from your right. In terms of relationships you might write about how you always tell your cat how the day went.

Just what makes you feel like you. You don't have to write lengthy sentences, just a few words.

What makes you you?
