Serendipity

Apologies for my radio silence yesterday; the news, as you may understand, was a bit distracting.  I wrote my next scene, but beyond that… by nightfall I felt like I’d spent all day plugged into the Matrix.

I love that all the various branches of police and FBI worked together like gears meshing, conducted this careful and on-the-ball search of the Watertown area, and in the end we found the guy because, when we decided, well, he’s gone, some dude stepped out of his house and said, “Welp, better go check on my boat.”

Nothing shameful to the police in that.  ”The harder I work, the luckier I get,” goes the saying.  But it’s such a wonderful ending: ultimately we do all this work and get the guy because the people pay paying attention.

For now, I’m going to go have brunch.
