This is home.
Up here is Main Street…Along here’s a row of stores…Public School’s over yonder. High School still farther over.
From Our Town by Thornton Wilder
Giles County Courthouse, Pearisburg, Virginia
I know. We’re already too busy. Work with me.
I had a quick trip to the hometown for a family event this weekend. Celebrating a cousin’s birthday and my Mom’s upcoming birthday.
It’s always good to go home to visit. But I never have quite enough time to get around and see people and so some things I want to do.
I know. Visit longer.
Come September, I’ll be able to do that.
If you know, you know.
I spent some time thinking about stories and in my quest to write one thousand words a day I rattled off a list of stories I can tell.
It’s just that on those days when I think I have writer’s block, the list is a good reminder that I do have things to write about.
It’s also a good reminder that I don’t necessarily have to publish them all.
It was a good weekend. But there was a lot of driving and I got home much later than I’d hoped on Sunday evening.
I mean, I barely had enough time to dread Monday.
But it’s here.
And now I have things to do and stories to write.
Let’s get busy.
