I’m currently writing this on Sunday though it will post on Monday morning. I’ve spent several hours raking up leaves in the yard and driveway — my second round this year and I swear I have twice as many bags as I did last time. And, of course, the city did their courtesy fall clean up bag gathering last week, so I’ll either be making a separate trip to the dump with the bags, or getting rid of them slowly over several weeks in my garbage can. Ah, the joys of home ownership!

Bellyaching aside, my arms are actually what’s really sore. I’m too tired to write at the moment, so I thought I’d come and set my blog up now so it could be ready to go. Novel idea, right? (grin) Hopefully, doing this much work will spur me into wanting to get back to work on Walk the Path.

I’ve been reconstructing the first few chapters. There was part of it that just kept nagging at me that it was overly complicated and I needed to kick part of it out. Yet doing that makes a big change to the story early on. Oh well. I know I’ll like it much better when I’m done fixing it and the nagging goes away. Until then, I have to smooth out all the places in the story that it upsets. It’s just words, I remind myself often.

Okay, so let’s get onto the story, shall we?
