Back To School

So sad. I'm going to miss them little critters so much!


What lonely autumn mornings I'll spend writing.... maybe for up to three hours at a time, doing ghastly stuff- free wheeling flash fiction into brand new notebooks, rewriting my novel, and punishing myself with poetry, over and over...

Ugh! The thought of it tortures me terribly....

The only thang that'll keep me going is the fact that it's not forever ( and
the soothin comfort to be found in my darlin housework.)

As you say, "..it's not for ever.." Hard not to miss them, though.

I've been free-wheelin' ever since mine flew the coop. Like Martin said, I do miss them, though.

I feel your pain! Use this time to channel this sorrow into your work. I bet it's the interruptions you'll miss most of all.

Niamh said...

Too true ... no cartoons, no interruptions, no little jabs to the side, no lilting pattern to that mom, mom, MOM! But its not forever, just a few hours a day, thank the lord.
