Monday Migraine and Polishing, Polishing…

Posted By on August 31, 2009

We’re having all kinds of rain and I love it, but my sinuses are such great barometers, I’m wasting my time not being a fisherman. I know long before the weather channels when one should stay in for a storm!  I digress–which is what I do best during migraines.

The US Open is on this week. Exciting stuff, because I’ve fallen in love with tennis again. I planned a great deal of my youthful weekends around tennis, but as rackets grew and volleys subsided, I lost interest because seeing how hard these players could bang a ball into an ace just didn’t work for me. The game seems to have changed back again while I was being all disdainful. Plus, the tennis channel (what a lovely thing) has been showing “classic” matches. (That would be matches we old folks watched!) And I am positioned in front of the TV with the sound set just high enough to get a flavor of sound (migraine) and my head turned away from the screen.

This laptop screen is a bit harsh, too, but I need to get back to work. I thought this proposal would be a matter of polishing, but I had to start over. Something felt off about the story, and I think I’ve figured that out, but I’ve been producing all new pages. New work is all about learning. I’m trying a different line and I’m excited about it, but I’ve got to get the voice right.
