So here at the one-week mark of this folly, words seem to be flowing more easily as the story begins to clarify in my mind. I can’t believe I’m actually past the one-third milestone — edging inexorably towards 20k, in fact.
Although I’m grateful for the focus that I’ve achieved this week, it does come with a price. Even after sending out group notices in SL reminding people of today’s Q&A; event in Abbotts, I then became so engrossed with the story that I missed the event by an hour and a half. Doh!
So I apologize to anyone who showed up, expecting to chat about planes etc. I’ll do my very best to make sure I’m at the next event on time.
And here’s an interesting random item: a letter from a charity dropped through the mail slot today. The envelope contained a nickel behind a little window, along with these words in large print: “A nickel could save a child’s life!”
Really? Then why are you mailing it to me? If you just mass mailed thousands of nickels to random people, how many children are you now unable to save? It’s mind-boggling.
But anyway, now I rest my typing fingers and go outside to frolic in the leaves.
