The Daily Journal, Thursday, July 4

In today’s Journal

* A brief note
* Daily diary
* Of Interest
* The numbers

Once again, happy Independence Day in the US.

Maybe no fiction writing today at all. Today is important for other reasons, so for today my fiction writing takes a lower priority.

If I do write anything today, I’ll report those numbers in tomorrow’s Jounal.

Rolled out at 3. Worked on “Of Interest” and then screwed around awhile with spider solitaire. I just wasn’t in the mood to play today, with anticipation of whatever else the day will hold.

Talk with you again tomorrow.
