It's been a while. And it might be a little while before I post again, though probably not as long since I'm only about five chapters away from being able to say, "Finished!"
Of course, that's draft one. I was almost going to say that's the hardest part, but who am I kidding? Editing and revising can be just as hard and time consuming. But I'm not thinking about that yet. Much.
Anyway. On to the thought of the day which occurred to me this morning because it was the first quite chilly morning in a while, and when I got into the shower I thought, thank God for whoever came up with hot and cold plumbing. I mean, what is nicer than stepping into a steaming shower on a cold morning? Okay, the beach on Sanibel, but I can't have that whenever I want. I can, however, have a shower at any temperature I want and that is a very good thing.
I will leave you with some pics...
Round Pond, Maine, where I recently went to eat with my mom, most of my sisters, niece, and sister-in-law.
Two American Oystercatchers my son saw on a birding trip.
And a Clapper Rail
And a wicked pretty moth (butterfly?).
Finally, there's this one, also taken by my son. I love the mist rising from the water. This will probably be my next header pic.
Stay well and be nice. There's a lot of hate out in the world these days which has been weighing me down so I'm really trying (not always successfully) to be nicer in thought and deed. Especially thought.
Just cold water plumbing here for the time being!
ReplyDeleteOh no! I feel so lucky!
DeleteYou're in the home stretch now! Thanks for the interesting photos.
ReplyDeleteI know, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel :)
DeleteHooray for nearing the end of draft the first.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos and am particularly taken with the birds, the flutterby and the mist over the water.
And hooray for plumbing (and indoor toilets).
oh, yes, indoor toilets, too!
DeleteGreat shots. Looks like the perfect view for dinner. And the bird photos are amazing.
ReplyDeleteJust a few chapters - I'm about that close as well. Go us!
Yay! I'll be watching for your, I'm finished!
DeleteI do love fogs and mists, we don't get them often here, sadly.
ReplyDeleteThat's too bad. We get them here, and they're especially pretty at first and last light.
DeleteCongrats on getting to the last five chapters of your first draft. Hope you get to the end soon.
ReplyDeleteNot too much longer. I hope!
DeleteCongratulations on making such good process with your book. I'm too busy editing for another writer to have any time working on my own book. C'est la vie. It'll happen when it happens...
ReplyDeleteYes! Hooray for indoor plumbing. And air conditioning. I thank God for air conditioning every day. I'm still sweating after doing my 20 minutes on the dreadmill and vacuuming the house, so when I cool down a little, that shower's gonna feel mighty fine. (I don't think I'l need to use much hot water, though.)
Good luck with making it to the finish line. And then the fun begins. :)
Ah, yes, revisions...I'm going to psyche myself up for them so I love them. Or so I say...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your cool mornings. We just got warm here. But a warm shower sounds so good right about now. Sooner rather than later.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind them too much, as long as the day gets warm.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being nearly finished with your writing. I love the water and the moon scenes.

Thank you, it was a fun night with my family and the moon was beautiful :)
DeleteGorgeous pics, Marcy! And you're right; there's far too much hate in the world.
ReplyDeleteThat's definitely a butterfly - not sure of species, though. Don't think I've seen that one here.
ReplyDeleteI love oystercatchers! They make me wish I had a bright orange bill for breaking open oyster shells.
Ha! You'd have to pay me to eat an oyster!
DeleteMore for me and the birdies!
DeleteI really like taking a cool shower after working outside in the heat. ~grin~ Love those photos! If I had my wish, our home would be next to some body of water. ~sigh~ Be well, my dear.

ReplyDeleteAnd you left me on a cliffhanger. How's the book?
ReplyDeleteYou're in the home stretch with only 5 left. Keep it up! Draft one is a win! I'm not a fan of the editing part because I never know when to stop. LOL!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures. I like the one with the mist too. Very cool shot.
Hope you're doing well Marcy.
Your son has your good eye. Here's to almost being done with your project.
