Open Driveway and Other Distractions

It Was a Saturday…

Got off to a slow start because our wonderful neighbor came to help me get rid of a big metal post that was partially blocking our driveway. All gone now, but the work got me off to a very late start.

I ended up recording half of the first advanced business lecture and worked on workshop stuff up at WMG, then went out for a walk. But on the way back it looked like it was going to rain, so I ran the last quarter mile.  A start.

Then to the grocery store and home to cook dinner after a short nap.

Then read some fun short stories, did some e-mail, watched some television, and actually got to my writing computer for another 2,100 words on the novel.

The thing is feeling like it might be short. Ahh, well, I’ll know when I find the end.

And we are redoing all of this series, so this one will be called The Dark Sunset: A Ghost of a Chance Novel (or short novel).
