Saturday Evening Post

I have had a lot of time to think lately and it has led me to the conclusion that I am in desperate need of something to occupy my time. I chose a manuscript that I have spent years working on to see how much progress I could make on it during the next month. 
I have set a deadline of December 31, 2015 to have the first composition book of pages, notes and cuts finished so that I may move on to organizing my random scribbles into coherent pages. 

I have ordered a typewriter so that I can ensure that once I type up everything it will be in the proper order. I am checking for the software, and my printer to determine if it can be scanned into the proper format. 

An hour a day is what I am setting aside to work on the manuscript. So far I've spent closer to three hours a day working on it. That's fine as well, just as long as I do not neglect anything.

Until next time may you be focused and make your dreams come true.

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.

Flash in the Pan Playing Along Still

The pages were bent and ragged from years of use, covers worn out from hands rubbing over them. There were bowls everywhere, the oven was still hot. She tasted it again, something wasn’t right. It was sweet, tangy but not right. What was missing? She scanned the room again to see. Onions maybe? No, but what could it be? She hit her head on the cabinet. A pepper that was it!
