Well, dear readers, I have breaking bombshell news so hold onto your hats or coats or socks because today is February. Yes, you heard it here, dear readers, today is February and it is my fervent hope and prayer that February will be a month filled with health, wealth, happiness, creativity, and all things bright and beautiful. In other breaking bombshell news, Muse Margaret got the second batch of 100 pages around eleven and I alerted her that they’d been sent. She said it was a perfect day to send and that she’d be able to read them soon. I’d gotten over eight hours of sleep, was up by ten-fifteen, answered e-mails, then futzed and finessed, after which the pages were on their way and I was into a new chapter and had written a new page. Allergies have been crazy for a few weeks and if Prednisone once helped them, it doesn’t anymore. My runny nose is ridiculous at this point. I finally took a Claritin-D. For food, I had some wings from Wingstop – they’re very good there. I do all drumettes, plain, with two garlic parmesan ones. The plain ones were great, but the other two were way too garlicky and caused problems with the tummy. Then I wrote another two new pages, took a break, dozed off for a couple of hours, and then got the call from Muse Margaret and happily she loved the latest batch as much as she loved the first batch, so that made me very happy, as you might imagine. She was very detailed about her favorite parts. After that, I had a telephonic call, watched some irritating YouTube videos, decided not to go to the show, mostly because of the runny nose and that I wanted to write a bit more. I dozed off again, then had some chicken soup and a grilled cheese sandwich from Mel’s – soup was good, sandwich not so much. Then I wrote another couple of pages and that was that. I was told that one of my leading men has a cold but got through the show okay and that the show was better. About fifty-five to sixty people, and that was definitely a decent house.
Today, I’ll be up by eleven at the latest, I’ll try to futz and finesse right away, then I’ll get ready and then mosey on over to the theater for the matinee. I think the Pearls are attending and if so, we’ll sup after the show. Then I’ll come home and try to write ten pages.
Tomorrow until I finish the book, it’s all writing all the time. Then Muse Margaret will get the final batch of pages. Otherwise, I’m hoping we can announce our new CD release, and I have a lot of stuff to catch up on. Then we do weekend four of our show.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must, for example, be up by eleven at the latest, futz and finesse, get ready, attend the matinee and sup afterwards, then come home and write. Today’s topic of discussion: It’s free-for-all day, the day in which you dear readers get to make with the topics and we all get to post about them. So, let’s have loads of lovely topics and loads of lovely postings, shall we, whilst I hit the road to dreamland, happy to have had the Muse Margaret and the Second 100 pages call and to say a hearty welcome to February, and it is my fervent hope and prayer that February will be a month filled with health, wealth, happiness, creativity, and all things bright and beautiful.
