Sittin’ and contemplatin’

By Mike Jastrzebski

It’s a beautiful morning here in Deltaville. 75 degrees, partly sunny, a little breeze and the boat’s gently rocking, and I’m just sitting in the cockpit, drinking coffee, and contemplating about what to write.

I’m not talking about my book. The rewrite on Stranded Naked Blues is coming along just fine. In fact, I should be done with the second draft by the end of this week and Mary has started on the editing. No, I’m talking about the blog.

You see nothing’s really happening right now. No major projects on the boat, we’re sitting in one place, and I’m having a hell of a time coming up with new topics to write about.

It’s tough sometimes writing a weekly blog. I want to write about something adventurous, or slightly humorous, or even something dangerous. Anything to grab the attention and interest of our readers here at Write on the Water, but this week nothing is really happening. So what do I do?

I guess I’ll just sit here in the cockpit, stare out over the waters of the Chesapeake, let the breeze caress me, and contemplate.

Wish you could be here to contemplate with me.
