Solving Problems
I forgot about a load of laundry--left it in the washing machine (ostensibly clean) overnight. Mid-morning, when I remembered it, the load stank in that sour way of wet things in an enclosed space.
A problem to solve. Which I have. So far. (When I wear the t-shirts that were part of that load, I'll have a better idea of how effective my solution was.)
In other news, one of my characters threatens to disappear into the ether of digital manuscript pages. He needs to be a little more charismatic. Even if only to himself.
A problem to solve. Not something to despair over, no matter how real this person is (to me) and how thoroughly he lacks charisma.
Taking a break for much of August, as much as I was able to, has turned out to be a good choice, especially after ten days in Saskatchewan working in-depth on this novel.
Perspective, I believe it's called.
I may wander away from social media even more as summer wanes and autumn arrives, the better to keep solving problems that inevitably arise.
