Today is a day for sitting out in the sunshine and enjoying the day. This is the first year I’ve been able to sit in my own garden, having rented an apartment for the previous ten years. But now I have a huge patch of grass and trees to call my own, and I even revelled in hanging out some washing!
But it’s not all relaxation and reading. I’m editong some stories that I’m hoping to self publish in a collection later this year. I’m amazed by some of the stories I have saved up over the years. One, just now, almost made me well up. That’s the consequence of having the recurring theme of loss and nostalgia in your writing I guess.
I’m proud of the work I’ve done so far, and it deserves to be shared if only because I don’t feel they are serving their purpose hidden away in the files on my laptop. Time for those stories to step out into the sunshine and see if they can take the heat…
