Monday Mood

Just writing

The weekend as always came and left far too quickly, though I was glad to have a settled Sunday with my husband. Errands ran early, then home, choring, cooking, watching Super Bowl commercials, the halftime show, and oh, the game?

Today? Baking and cooking and now, a little editing. Working on three pieces. Two that have a theme of blue for a submissions call I will post below. The other, about women disappearing, well cold cases. Unfortunately, I have too close of a relationship to violence against women with 3 women in my family taken violently, two by someone they thought they knew and probably loved.

I am also going to tighten a micro piece based on a new customer we had in over the weekend. Everything about him was so distinct, the brief interaction I had with him stuck. After jotting it down, I also scribbled Write what you know. Write who you don’t know. I am sure I am not the first to write it, but I am the first to write it for me.
