Putting Away Society
What great fun to have company: amiable relatives, a lovable baby, and an energetic dog the size of New Hampshire. Now, the morning after is here, and the mundane returns.
I don't mind the return of quiet; in fact, I need long stretches of it in order to be able to write. Still, the interruptions life provides are essential, too. Leaving my computer to its own devices for a day or two. Leaving my mind to weave stories in the unconscious or the subconscious--I'm not sure which one works for me, I just know it works. And giving my body other things to do seems to help, as well.
It's been a busy few days. Now, when society has gone back to wherever it goes, I am ready, re-energized and ready to start that next book, the one that fell into place while I was playing with the baby.
