My goodness, it's already 12:55 P.M. and I'm really just settling in at the computer with my green tea -- though I did do a little work on my George River story earlier today. But after that, I went for a run, caught up with my very dear neighbours Liz and Kees, who were out of town for two weeks, and returned some other friends' phone calls. Sometimes, a writer needs to replenish her heart so she can keep writing. Also, I saw a huge skunk strolling on our street when I left for my run. Pretty cool -- though I always thought skunks were nocturnal. Okay, that's enough chatting for me for today -- I want to spend the rest of the afternoon on my manuscript. First four chapters are sounding pretty good to me. I want to read through what else I've got and work up a synopsis to send to my editor next week. (Can you tell that I've been working upside down -- writing first, then working up the synopsis... sometimes writing happens this way.) Then we'll see if I get a go-ahead on this book project. And if I do, I'll really need to move on it. Have a good weekend. Lovely light snowflakes coming down today in Montreal. Hope wherever you are is just as pretty.
