Normally, I approach Mondays with all the enthusiasm of a patient about to get a root canal. Not this time around. I’ve had a full and busy and social three-day weekend that kept me out of the house almost all day. I got barely five pages into my typein. My house is a mess. My kids have hardly seen me in two days. I had fun, but I’m glad to be back to the (somewhat) quiet and (occasionally) orderly routine of school, housework and writing.
Quartz awaits!
How was your weekend?
Not bad. Wrote a short story. Not worth keeping, but will dump in my fodder file.
It’s fun when parts of abandoned short stories come back to life in a new setting.
I had that happen with characters from a short story showing up as secondaries in a novel. That was cool.
