Time flies when you’re ________.

September already! And that half gone. At work, we are already moved on to the big live show. What is it now, ten weeks away? Every time I think of it, I get a serious flock of butterflies in the old belly.

I need to edit the description of this blog to include the word “sewing”, because that seems to be the leisure activity of choice these days. Yesterday I made a wrap skirt for a friend and one for myself. I’m going to wear it today, in fact. I hope no one at work thinks I’m nutty for pretty much only wearing wrap skirts. In the first place, I love them (and now I have five, which makes ten completely distinct fabrics), and in the second place, they’re about the only thing that fits these days.

On that note, I guess if I add “sewing” to the description, I should go ahead and add “eating”. I am a shameless little piggy these days. And I feel like something needs to click before I’ll be able to get a handle on it. But maybe that’s a cop out.

What else…? Still revising The Girl Least Likely. I hope this will be the last go-round before the next round of submissions. That would be nice. I need to get back to working on 7S.

Writing a first draft is like trying to make flowers grow by pulling on them.

Actually, that’s not true. That’s what I’m making it like right now. In reality, it can be broken down to a fairly reliable process of writing-leading-to-results. But it’s easier to pretend it’s out of my hands. Plus, you have a lot more time to make skirts that way.
