No Sandcastles

Sometimes writing can feel as carefree as building sand castles

So true. So true.

Hope your day has some shining moments, Jo. xo

I guess there are bound to be ups and downs with whatever we love. I rarely reach that point of thinking that this is it for the project, which sounds pretty miserable. Hope you have a day of writing in love!

I'm so hoping the writing comes easier for you tomorrow! ;0)

Thanks, Tami. I've got my plastic shovel and sunscreen and am determined for some play. After making a nice heap of sand yesterday, which needs some surprising twirls.

Sometimes, taking a break helps. But there are times when the only way to get to the other side is to push through.

Hope tomorrow is better. :)

You are right. Sometimes there's just the push, and sometimes knowing a break is coming makes the work just that more compelling. I'm helping a friend with powerpoint (me as techie? But that's just what she wanted. someone who speaks her non-language) this afternoon, and we'll make time for some gossip and tea... today already seems much better!

That *does* sound much better! Here's hoping your next day at the beach goes more smoothly. Though I know what it's like to need to suit up in full nor'easter gear because there's so much sand that needs moving.

I'm nodding and nodding and smiling as I read your post. Sometimes it's a heap of sand grinding in the shoe and sometimes it's bare toes wriggling in a heap of sand. Here's to that heap of sand taking shape into something wonderful.

Ouch: sand in the shoe.

Thanks for your good wishes. Yesterday a rudimentary platform got built, and while it wasn't fun, it was necessary. Hoping for a bit more fun today... but we will see. It's all part of the process, though I know it helps me going in with sparkly sunglasses, or something, on.
