Hey Folks,
I’m really missing (fiction) writing, storytelling, and it will be good to get back to it tomorrow in whatever form it takes.
For me, being immersed in a good story as it develops is like that moment when you smile and sigh as you’re sinking into a tub of hot water. It’s just that good.
One more visiting day with my son and his family and one more day of baseball to see whether the Cubs will tie the series with the Dodgers. I’ll continue following the LCSs tomorrow, etc. but watching games will be secondary to writing.
Oh wow. I nearly broke my Journal posting streak today. I was just in here checking on something else and happened to remember I hadn’t posted it yet. (grin)
Back tomorrow.
