At Least That's Fixed
Sep. 21st, 2021 01:06 pm The Loft has managed to fix the glitch, sot that's good news.
Meanwhile, I have been writing up a STORM... because, of course, I should be working on critiquing my student's entry for this week. I swear to all the gods that I only ever do my best writing when something else is due. At least I am catching up to where I left off. I am writing the current project without an outline and I had an epiphany about a character that made me have to go back and revise a LOT. So, I have finally mostly caught up to where I was before I jettisoned a huge section of the book.
On the other hand, it's so much better and I finally have a strong sense of who these people are and what they're fighting for, as it were.
A strange thing that has happened since Mason has gone off to college is that I find myself with a whole lot of time and... I don't understand where this time is coming from. He was never a burden. I didn't spend all my time driving him around or taking care of him or any of that stuff, but suddenly I just seem to have this huge amount of space to get things done in. It feels oddly reminiscent of when the pandemic started and time stopped having meaning. I mean, not THAT bad, but I remember thinking during lockdown how LONG days had become, and I am really feeling that again.
It's sort of nice?
Shawn and I have also found time to do some rearranging and pruning of the house, which has added to this sensation, I think. We've gone back to eating dinner at a ridiculously early hour, too.
Anyway, back to writing!
