Heat spell

Enough already! Tied record of consecutive 90+ days. If today, break it. I am ready for the cooler weather that is forecast for end of the week.

Hobbling through the rewrite. Fixing stuff, should be okay, not in as disastrous shape as I thought.

What possessed me to write another novel? It's so much work! Now I can't abandon it, would be like murdering friends. Have to tough it through but, jeez, as an old man it's a hell of a lot harder to get it done than in years past. Hard to imagine my 24/7 obsessive younger self.

I probably should have been a high school math teacher ha ha.

How did my life turn out so crazy, with so many unexpected twists and turns? I used to be a rather typical high school nerd. The army ruined me! ha ha. Meeting all those bright crazy hard drinking Ivy League types. Meeting RC and his romance with the Pacific Northwest. Jazz, literature, all those things that flew over my head in high school.

I am not done writing, just done writing huge undertakings. I rather look forward to writing some new traditional plays, once this novel is done. Still hoping for a draft by end of summer.

This blog is rather like a diary. Apparently I have a few readers. Why? ha ha.

I think of old James Otis, burning his life's work. Impossible today. Could never get rid of all the stuff, and copies of stuff, on the Internet. But I have thought of it.

This novel is better for the recent crisis. But I'd be happy if there are no more ahead.

Time to make another iced coffee.
