The Journal, Sunday, November 5

Hey Folks,

Well, it’s Sunday. Not much here in the Journal today.

Around here we’re breaking out our winter clothes, putting away summer stuff, etc. Generally taking the day off to do little things we don’t have to do more than a couple times a year.

Doing some cleaning, some cooking, some redecorating of one wall in my office. Revisiting and adjusting the bedroom closet, stuff like that.

I hope to break out tomorrow and write some fiction. But I guess we’ll see.

Back tomorrow.

Not directly about writing but hilarious, see https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/cto/d/2001-jeep-wrangler-sport-and/6351701604.html.

For some reason this Journal and the tag “The Writing Life” got me to thinking aout Howard Nemerov’s nonfiction book Journal of the Fictive Life. If you enjoy reading about how other people do things, find that and read it. Great book.
