Anyway, the bad news is that I've reached a point in the story where I'm not sure how to proceed. I have a vague sense of where the story will ultimately lead...I just have to figure out how to get there. I am also dealing with some unexpected plot developments and I haven't quite figured out how everything will all tie together in the end. The imaginary world of the Stewards of Reed gets more complicated by the day!
I've decided I need to take a brief pause (no more than a week or so) from writing in hopes that when I come back to the story with a fresh mind the words will just start flowing again. Fortunately I have a good distraction between now and then...I am in the middle of a summer purge. I have never been a big fan of clutter or collecting useless things...I like everything to have a purpose and a place. Unfortunately, I married a sentimental pack rat.
I am on a mission to make sure that our storage space does not take on a life of its own (I weep for the unfortunate owner of the clutter shown above). It's taken quite a bit of negotiating...but I finally have my husband's blessing to proceed with donating some of the stuff that has been piled up in our closets and storage areas for far too long. Next Wednesday it will all be donated to charity...and I will go back to writing.
