The Joy of Sleeping
It's a holiday today (Happy Birthday USA!) and I slept until 10:30 am. Whoa. Guess I was exhausted. I feel rested right now. There are various festivities today and a child to entertain and spend time with. We're going to the movies and then he has a party (I'll be working!) and then fireworks at my brother's.
Day before yesterday I deleted a boring chapter from Magellan's Witch and rewrote the boring beginning of another. As I was in bed trying to keep my eyes open while I was reading a book about Structure and Plot, this great idea popped into my head about what my heroine had done. It solves quite a few issues for me. So I had to notebook that because I was so tired I was afraid if I didn't I'd fall asleep and forget. The read through continues, but slowly because I've had to stop and fix several things.
Anyhoo, off to celebrate and spend time with family.

I hope you had a good 4th and it didn't rain into your BBQ. If you had a BBQ, that is.
Will you be in Dallas? It would be lovely to see you again!

It's very hot here in California right now, so, no rain. No BBQ either since my son was a a pool party and I was writing...
Unfortunately, I will not be in Dallas, but San Francisco for sure!
