Day 6
Tomorrow I go under the dentist knife (literally), which I’ve been dreading for years. Well, time to put on the big girl panties and do the Adulting thing, which I’ve come to understand as “things you do so life doesn’t suck even worse in the future”. Things like retirement accounts, house repairs, and now gum grafts. Meh.
Spent my fifteen minutes of writing time going over what I’ve written so far with this new story, and found a number of Easter Eggs*, which has me tingly with excitement**. You would think that I would remember what I had written (it’s only been a week), but I seem to only recall the Big Things like major plot points, and not the nifty details that create the World and assorted Conflicts. So yeah, found some nifty stuff that I’m pretty pleased about.
As for the daily Writing Practice Month challenge, well, at this point I’m not even planning to try to write over the next few days. With any luck***, I’ll be back at the writing table next week.

*Like the “Easter eggs” in DVDs or video games—hidden cool things that the creators put in that you hunt for. Only in this case, Muse has kindly dropped them for me to find. Muse is awesome.
**Or maybe that’s the surgery anticipation.
***Luck = minimal lingering pain. My fingers are crossed!

Oh, dear. I didn’t know you had that surgery on the schedule! Is it gum grafts? I’ve had 3 lovely surgeries of that sort. Not fun but you recover 🙂

Terri, thanks for this. I saw your comment on the drive in to the surgery (yup, gum graft) and it made my day.
