Wife and family are off ten days on a vacation: the perfect time to write! I got up at 0800 Saturday…
Breakfast. Pay some bills. Sort some investment reports. Start first laundry. Put dishes in dishwasher; clear around sink. Go for walk. Drive to mother-in-law’s house to feed/water her parakeet. Come home to start loads of towels. Write a blog post about not writing.
And it’s not at if I’ve nothing to write about: last night I jotted down several ideas for Part Two of “Crosses and Doublecrosses”. More importantly, my copyeditor gave me the suggestion that, as my soon to be released “Worlds Without End” is a ten-year-on sequel of “Echoes of Family Lost,” for anyone who hasn’t read the first I should include a preface and cast of characters. That seemed pretentious to me so instead I saw a Prologue where, just about to turn 13, Gary is assigned an essay by his Brotherhood: to reflect upon his family. In that reflection I will be able to re-introduce the characters from EoFL.
Dammit. Except for another load of towels, I have no more excuses. Guess I’ll do that now…
