I’ve had enough rainy days already. Give me some sunshine.<\/p>\n
Rainy, overcast days are so gloomy. They leave me in a funk. Which makes it hard for me to focus, especially on my current work-in-progress.<\/p>\n
Sunny days lighten my mood. They bring a smile to my lips. And, although it’s easy to slip outside to enjoy fun in the sun, I do get more writing done on sunny days. I’m more energetic. More alert. And overall, more productive.<\/p>\n
As an admitted procrastinator, I have to be careful and plan outdoor activities for AFTER I write. This can be hard ~ and it will be harder this year, because my daughter and son-in-law have a new pool.<\/p>\n
Their pool opens Memorial Day weekend, so it will become more of an enticement for me June through Labor Day.\u00a0They live 30 minutes away, so the drive is a bit of a discouragement. I won’t be dropping everything and running out the door with my bathing suit tucked inside a beach towel.<\/p>\n
Images of that glistening pool water will certainly haunt me though. Especially, while I write on those sunny summer days.<\/p>\n
May signals the onset of summer. And I love summer.<\/p>\n
We’ve set up our camping trailer at a new campsite. It’s not too far from home. I’ll get some quiet time up there to write, enjoy the sounds of nature.<\/p>\n
This May, I had to drop the challenge of trying to write 2 TV Pilots at time.<\/p>\n
What the Hell was I thinking!<\/p>\n
I switched it up to writing 1 TV Pilot and editing another that’s completed and doing well in contests. Even though it’s doing well, I know it still needs a tweak or two. Might make more “Finals” rankings<\/p>\n
What are your plans for May?<\/p>\n
Mother’s Day is just a week away. I have to get planning on where to take my mom for that special day.<\/p>\n
Until then ~ Keep WRITING!<\/p>\n
