The Journal, Thursday, 6/22

Hey Folks,

Well, I’m back in St. David. Left Alamo this morning around 2:30 a.m. and got here at around 8. It was a good trip, and very enjoyable, but I need to get back to what I do.

Although I hoped to write while I was gone, it just wasn’t in the cards.

For one thing, on the travel days I was tireder than I used to be after a trip like that. On the visiting days, I felt more relaxed to just let things flow than I used to. And that’s more or less what happened.

Not sure whether I’ll write anything today either. Today feels like a “parts” day. I’ll put away things from the trip, get a few chores done, and take care of some other “parts” of what I usually do when I’m here.

And I’ll get ready mentally to storm back into writing.

Of course, if a pressing idea hits, all bets are off.

Today, and Writing

Nope, no writing today. Still looking forward to that writing in public challenge, though, and to my next novel, whatever it’ll be.

See you tomorrow.
