Hello everyone. Today is Saturday. I had an interesting dream that made me think about other people needing help with stuff, so I will keep that in mind. 

I just listened to a recording for my writing event that I am participating in by remote. It was good and reminded me of the literary life that has faded some. But in a way, it has not faded as I type this.  And yet who I am I kidding. I am just yapping about my day, and what I heard on audio was amazing prose.

I have twelve pages done on my novel and I need to really get into it and have a plot going. I think that I will work towards having a scene that is a meeting with a lot of people. And there will need to be some social worker types who can be leaders in the ironic compassion that develops for the book.

It is shaping up in my mind. I ate a little bit of a hamburger for breakfast. I might need to go outside to cool off because of how warm it is in my apartment.  Maybe I should go buy ice cream from the grocery store.

My bank account settled down to its usual low numbers after some ups and downs last month and facebook budgeting.  I am thankful for that nice experience with Libya and India and the other countries.

I think possibly I told too many people when I could have experimented with keeping a good deed a secret.  But I felt that I should not just keep it quiet like a secret that wears at you.  So I mean I don't know. I mean am I always doing bad on that. I don't know, but it could be like fasting, where some of us just can't. So okay. It is 11 am. My meeting later is at 3 pm.  So I am thinking walk to the store and buy ice cream. I am thinking go to the key food store and get a sherbert and start doing those orange cream shakes that cool me off in the summer.

Has anyone read my other novel? I think it is kind of cool like if I have a before and after.  Sparkity Bonkins was the cashiering life, mildly quirky, and now this will be institutionalized severe mental illness. I just hope I can get it done, but I think in fact I really will. 

Well, thanks everyone, have a good day.
