WEEKEND GRIEVING

There's always kind of a let-down after a long weekend, isn't there? A kind of sadness and grieving process needs to take place before we can move on and accept the fact that "it's back to work time". Even though I am currently among the "unemployed" in this grand nation of ours, I am still treating my novel production as a "job". But, I took this weekend to have fun on the water, enjoy a movie and spend time with friends. It's back to the grind of writing now.

Today I plan to complete the final draft of my short story for the Greensboro Review contest. I tend to procrastinate, but this time my goal is to have the story out the door no later than Friday, the 11th. Okay so maybe that's cutting it a little close to the wire...but at least I'm not over-nighting it on the 14th.

It's a dreary day, but my story line is rather dark, so maybe this weather will set a good backdrop to script about my childhood angst. Till tomorrow...........
