Writing can take a lot out of you.

Good Morning and Salutations,

I spent four to five hours writing the outline to book yesterday.  I made some pretty good headway, but when I got to the chapter dealing with the death of a spouse, I found it to be really draining.  The emotions that I have to evoke on the page are depressing and dark.  I am not done with that section, since I will have to write it out in full later.  I had to quit for the day.  It was too much.  I don’t really know how other writers can get in that headspace time after time.  I don’t like and I hope I won’t have to go there again. 

I am totally looking forward to this weekend.  It is supposed to be nice weather and my daughter will be camping outside with 2 of her friends.  It looks like this COVID-19 thing is starting to wind down.  The number of deaths and positive infections are declining.  Whoo Hoo! 

On a more positive note, my teeny-tiny vegetable garden is growing well.  I am so excited about the green bean buds and about my cucumber plants!  Until next week my friends!
