Blaming what occurred on a writer’s absentmindedness, I had a situation on my hands.
Prior to furthering along the draft of my Contemporary work in progress, I began boiling a half dozen eggs. Caught up in my writing, I completely forgot about checking on their status. Immersed in my own fictitious world, staccato popping sounds startled me into mobilizing.
Horrors!
Water in the pan had evaporated. The chittering eggs had exploded into bits and pieces, projecting everywhere in the kitchen, adhering to walls and embedding under stove burners. Under the circumstances, I scrambled to clean up the mess.
Since the fiasco, I’ve advanced chapter 23 to 719 words.
*May each of us live in the present moment. My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
