TIME TO WRITE

This spring, it has been a challenge to write on my novel. Gardening and farming is intense in spring, organizations have deadlines and demands (I am not an "on paper only" member) and I have been gut punched by the death of one friend after another from the ravages of disease. As heartbreaking as it is to lose friends, being of the same age makes one reflect on one's own mortality. Time does not stand still, and death's knock can be unexpected. My friends left many unfinished projects.
As it is with human nature, I tend to procrastinate- "there is plenty of time", I tell myself. But my friends showed me otherwise. It's time to slow down and get back to the business at hand- getting the stories out of my head and onto paper (and a flash-drive).
