Thoughts on the Friday before Christmas
The house is filled with the scent of simmering stew and we're waiting for friends to come and enjoy a meal with us. Writing was minimal today, with the only honest words coming in the form of some frustration I shared with a writing buddy. She and I have walked each other down some dark corridors and opened some literary doors together that kept us in both suspense and stitches. So she is often the one I talk to when the rest of the population seems to have a boneheaded attitude about the way writers (and certain others) work, think, negotiate and breathe. Few can keep up with our kind, unless they are our kind. (I should note that engineers are also excellent at keeping pace with writers, particularly the one I married.)
I hope each of you is enjoying this weekend before Christmas. It all got here in a hurry, didn't it?
