What Happened to June?


I have been having a difficult time getting work done the last few weeks. I'm so far behind my self-imposed deadline that I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to keep my schedule I had in mind. Several things have contributed to this lately.

First, we finally had friends come to visit. They were our first house guests since we moved into this new home three years ago. It was so much fun! We took them on a tour around town and spent a lot of time out going to shows, restaurants, and shopping together. I didn't write a word while they were here.

Second, I have been having a difficult time writing part three. I'm not sure why. Parts one and two were no trouble. I sat down and wrote them straight through pretty quickly but three has been like pulling teeth.

I have been trying to get into the grove and keep sitting down to write but it feels clunky and disjointed. I'm still pushing through but I have a feeling this one will need a lot of rewriting when it's done.

Third, my step-daughter is coming next week for a visit. She will be here for three weeks. I doubt I will get much written while she is here. I haven't seen her for about two years so I want to enjoy as much time with her as possible.

I hope to get a lot written this weekend, we will see. Think good thoughts for me.

Thanks for sticking with me and my crazy life as I try to figure out how to be a writer.

Sincerely,

Stephen
