Good morning! A weekend of reading a very interesting and helpful book on writing kept me in a positive mood. I stopped at end of chapter 22 of Eight Weeks to a Complete Novel1 by the very talented mystery writer, Becky Clark2. I had no idea there were so many different approaches to the start of putting a book together. I would have said I will probably be a “pantser” but after reading the outline section of this book, it appears I may use the “plotter” method of writing my story (or stories.) More on this at a later date when my focus becomes clearer on directions I wish to pursue in this writing quest.
Since I did not, nor plan to, post on the weekend, I pray all had an wonderous time in whatever adventures they chose. I also truly wish all fathers a Happy Father’s Day, regardless of existence on earth or not, man or female, married or not, birth father or not, and what generation this awesome person belonged. I enjoyed a lot of fond memories of my father, (step)grandfather, and other father figures in my life all of which have been removed from earth far too soon. I was not as sad this weekend as I have been in the past. I have finally found peace in those memories.
What is on the agenda for today? Starting early, mowing the rest of the yard is first on the list. Perhaps write a bit in a journal of ideas of “the book.” Some laundry is needed and other chores to to break in the time of writing. Naturally, there will be some social activities for support of other writer friends and general chatting of various subjects to keep a smile on my face. There will be plenty of furbaby play time and conversations with hubby to not let seriousness get me stressed. He is a wonderful stress reliever with his spontaneous jokes and quips!
Did you enjoy the weekend and/or father’s day? What is on your agenda for the day? Please comment below and have a magical Monday!
