 Just got off from work, did the grocery shopping and now am at home. I am so very tired, all the way inside my bones, which actually ache.
I think my ankles are swelling...

I think I want to be off for the summer, but don't know how to swing that. I want the time for myself to just write and write and write. Sleep sometimes, but mostly just write. But oh well, have to be responsible and pay the bills, they sure won't pay theirselves...wouldn't that be nice.
I wonder if you can get grants for that???

But the other side is this, I like my job. I really do. I like my boss.  He's so nice, and a great leader that somehow instills the desire to do better. I really like where I work and I think I would miss it if I was gone. So nix the off idea.  Well, have to write on the Hunt before I go to bed...

Working a third shift job that I absolutely love! 

Have been working hard on "The Dark Hunt" rewrite. It's a much darker version than the original with character exploration. Wendy probably thinks I've forgotten about it....Just lost in the zone of writing it. 

Now that I am rewriting it, I can't believe the first version I posted. Shame on me. It was such a shallow work, superficial, nothing meaty.
I'm ashamed that I didn't take more time with it. 

The truth is, back then, I was just excited to be writing. Idea popped into head, wanted to get it written and published. Never stopped to think about the quality of what I was writing. Just took for granted that I was a good writer without stopping to think that it had been years since I had written anything. Which is crazy since I got officially published when I was in high school. Back then, I was a good writer. But many years have passed, and I was out of practice. Now I know and realize.

And it's true, you have to get back into the "zone" when writing. Me, I put on my headphones and crank up the mp3 player. I lose myself in the story and my music feeds me, keeps me going, plus blocks out all interruptions. It's also good that I'm working thirds. Everyone is either asleep or at school.  

Right now, I'm tired and need a nap.
