What You And I Want
This Will Make Sense
Monday I woke up with no idea what to wander on about for this week. I did know what I wanted to be doing. Last Friday I left Firekeeper and her associates in the middle of a very complicated situation. As much as I wanted to keep writing into Friday evening, I’d wrenched my shoulder (either throwing atlatl darts or carrying buckets of water), and I had to get away from the keyboard.
So Monday (which is when I often draft the Wednesday Wanderings) came around, and I didn’t have any idea what to natter on about. I really didn’t think you’d want to know that Jim and I drew plans for where to plant what in our garden, which is very complicated because this year we’re not only trying some new things, we’re rotating crops.
Or that I had a lot of fun coloring with special gel pencils a picture that had been printed on black paper.
Or that my RPG went well this past week, despite the fact that my players seem to be rolling a record number of fumbles. (Jim is in the lead. He’s being a very good sport about this.)
And I didn’t really want to spend a lot of energy trying to justify why these things should interest you, just because they really interest me.
Then it occurred to me that what most of you and I have in common is my writing, and that you’d probably like it if I didn’t put off getting back to that very complicated scene because I was trying to write a clever (or at least not hugely boring) essay.
So, I will leave you here and go and do what I want to do… And I hope that it’s what you want me to do as well.
As always, I welcome suggestions as to topics for the Wednesday Wanderings. Please feel free to make a suggestion in the Comments wherever you’re reading this or, if you’re shy, you can e-mail me at jane2@janelindskold.com.
Now, off to continue dealing with complications and consequences! Woo-hoo!
