On the Fulcrum

Filed in: blog

Family will take precedent over work this weekend, as it should. My brother is around, and since I get to see him only once or twice a year, he’ll have my full attention from Friday night until Sunday evening. No blogging. I am going to have the AlphaSmart attached to my hip, so any time not spent catching up (he’s an early-to-bed kinda guy; I’m still the proverbial night owl…) will see Rae at the center of my attention. I really am in a drive to finish this one.

It’s kinda interesting to see where and how the blocks get smashed. (I even do a workshop on this for conferences). In this case, I was sitting in the kitchen of the hair salon, my hair looking like a recently terrified Cindy Who, full of color and standing straight up. I had thirty minutes before my stylist could get back to me, so instead of reading last spring’s People mags, I started scribbling notes, brainstorming Rae.

And it broke. It all came together. I’ll need to rewrite the last three or four pages so far, just to re-direct some things. If you’re interested, I’ve put the opening of the book in the extended part of this entry.

If I don’t get a chance to blog tomorrow, I’ll be here Monday.
