Yep. 29.
Too bad we don't have tapes that we could rewind to various places where we went down the wrong road or said something we wished we hadn't... "wanna do that scene again please"
but then it wouldn't be life would it?
Wow that was cheery.
Love & Poetry - they go with anything.
I wouldn't mind reruns of a few of the really good days, too.![]()

There's some poetry there, I bet...... hello S, how's things down south?
You don't know how happy I am to here you are so settled now after all you went throughWhat are the winters like in this new home? I remember you had so much snow at your old place
I'll chime in and likewise wish
Happy Birthday !
hey thanks, EO. Hope all's well in your world.
These last few months were a bit topsy-turvy for us too. Had to find a new place to live back in June (because the guy who owned the house we were renting, was working/living up in Alaska and decided to come back about a year or so before we were expecting); in something of a panic, we were shown this place, and at first glance it had strong seductive powers; but the landlady's not as easy going as the former, and it's just never felt like 'home' and it's a bit more expensive.
So there hasn't really been a comfortable climate for submergence into the art of wordsmithery. We just decided to try and settle in for the winter, see what spring brings. So the season for wordsmithery submergence may be nigh.
Everything's going OK, but my muse is still on vacation.

mine comes around, flaunts, gets me excited, I reach, and then she disappears, and I go back to the shed and twiddle my thumbs.
I'll be looking forward to the results of your wordsmithery submergence. Maybe I'll indulge my inner poet some, too. This novel planning is making me yearn for poetry lol. I've always been a good writer, but I'm learning that what I need to be now is a good storyteller. That's way harder for me.
Damn, they must have got together and arranged a cruise! Mine's AWOL too.
Well I do understand you. Seems like for me, the clearer the idea is in my head the harder it is to put it down in clear words. As opposed to meandering and rambling and finding potential stories along the way (which tend to remain undeveloped in correspondence to the clarity they gain in the mind).
Like I still recall clear as anything, a couple years ago - the briefest moment - of a deer in the yard - and deer in yards are pretty common around here - but this particular moment - late night, maybe in moonlight - and that brief, momentary visual remains oh so clear - but to set down in words what my eyes actually saw? Just couldn't do it. Still can't do it. Yet I can still see it. If I was making up a story and decided to include the same kind of scene, I think it would be much easier, because I could mix the reality of what I remember with something I might make up. Why it is this way remains a puzzle. So I can understand why it might be difficult to write a story that might already be clear in your mind, as opposed to wordsmithing for the sheer pleasure of wordsmithing, and discovering lovely little stories along the way.
