Reflections on the past 9 hours and 12 minutes...

Getting hard to know when we’ll ever see a blue sky again. Who knows, I might be induced to prayer.

Meanwhile, a nice day by other standards.

Got in some decent writing, a good workout, a meaningful nap, and some nice phone time with my uncle. Now, if I could only find the motivation to get some work done around the yard.

Borrowed (half-heartedly) J. Steinbeck’s In Dubious Battle after failing to find a number of other titles I was searching for, and have since come to see what a buzzkill I’d been in assuming it wouldn’t be any fun. Am halfway through and enjoying it quite a bit.

Contributor copy of The Belmont Review showed up in the mail. My story “Devotion” is featured nicely in it. Would like to see that piece in a collection some day. Maybe I’ll spend the late fall gathering up pieces for submission.

Can’t believe tomorrow’s Thursday.
