A Lazy Writer’s Day

(or A Writer’s Lazy Day)

Today I tried out my new massage/exercise ball long enough to establish two things: 1) It is definitely a good way to stimulate blood circulation. I was overheated in five minutes. 2) I’m even more sadly out of shape than I imagined.

Stay tuned for more exciting revelations tomorrow.

Most of this day has been spent plowing through several hundred emails generated by members of an on-line writing group. A published writer is answering questions for members of the group this week and there were many. When I got out of bed and ambled to the computer, I had 160 emails waiting. I am down to less than 20 now, but it’s kept me busy most of the day.

It appears that many of the writers in this group write romance novels. A few write non-fiction, and some of the novel writers mention poetry, but I haven’t learned if many are poets. I’ll have to see how long I can keep up the pace at my advanced age and still have energy for writing.

The holidays have taken a toll on writing time, but I’m getting back into the groove. As soon as I get my travel stories onto my website with the correct dates and in order, I’ll get busy on the memoirs again.
