I woke up this morning....and heart little "ooh" and "awh" of baby Pip. He is so darling to watch. It is like little sparkles of fairy dust in the morning being sprinkled in my life.
I have been being asked about finding the BLOG. It again.... took me hours. But, I am educable, which is dandy since I have a Masters in Education. It means: hope abounds! Perhaps before I start collecting medicare, I'll be as quick at this as my now 18 month old Pip will be.
For the past 7 weeks, I have thrown out gobs and cleared up my home: trying to keep my mind focused and without distraction. This is a new season and a new style for me. Aging might have its rewards, inducing us to lead a more simplified life. I was going to use this clean space to go back to my manuscript- "Good Mourning". I wanted to enter a contest for Pacific Northwest Writers Conference. They asked for the first 28 pages of the manuscript- from which the judging is determined. This assignment got me thinking: The BEST 28 pages need to be the FIRST 28 pages. My BEST pages are not the first 28 pages. It builds from the beginning...but unless the FIRST ones are among the BEST, it may never see the light of day.
So, I am thinking of re-organizing the story line. Hmmm. I am too late for the contest: but it may be the excuse I needed to fine tune my manuscript. Which, by the way: was finished until now.
Wish me luck.
Smiles for a great Tuesday. Thanks for following. I need you.
