1.) One of my original “Six Brothers” in The Hushing Days manuscript is
toying with the chopping block. No, it’s not Leo, the gunsmith. His place is
assured simply because I love writing his honey. Miss Fawkes is a veritable hoot
to slip into. Alas, young Thackary has eluded me. His role in the carefully
scripted drama is minimal, so he would be relatively easy to dismiss… But I do
love him so. I will not give the lad up without one heck of a fight.
2.) Baseball season starts Sunday! Cubs fans haven’t seen this kind of
excitement for a season to start since, well, last season. Yeah, we’re a little
like a pack of Lab puppies always breathlessly excited for their daily walks.
Never mind, the raging thunderstorm, the big, scary, garbage truck or the
potential that the “Let’s go for a walk!” ploy is simply a method to get us to
the vet without messy incident.
3.) Rays fans, on the other hand, are feeling a little adrift this
spring. Having lost our manager, GM and a lot of our fan favorites to the
reality of small market baseball and the less than fan-friendly confines of the
Trop, I think we’re all just floating in limbo-land these days.
4.) Preliminary scouting of my next writing project is going well.
Finally. It always takes me a while to find that niche I want to snuggle my
muse and I into.
5.) Did I mention that baseball starts in like 5 days!!?... Yeah, I
thought I might have noted that.
6.) I’m so far behind in my other penname’s garden blog (“Cora’s Garden”)
that it’s really rather criminal. Apologies for that. Slipping on the old,
stand-by hair shirt as we speak.
7.) Is it Sunday yet?
Until tomorrow…
