Not Writing

By -
My manuscript has been out of my hands since June 17. Because of that, I haven't worked on it. Why bother? I'll need to consider the feedback my cohorts will be giving me on July 15.

In the meantime, since I haven't been writing, don't you wonder what I have been doing?

Aside from play with the kids or read to Melina, so far I've:
  • Painted a dresser
  • Decluttered Melina's room
  • Rearranged several storage cabinets
  • Thrown away junk from the basement
  • Cleaned out my closet
  • Went through old clothes of the kids
  • Spot cleaned a few carpets
  • Found out that Aaron has hardwood floors under his carpet
My house and things like it when I'm not writing.

I'd never heard of that author before, but the dust jacket led me to believe that The Detour would read much like Misery , by Stephen King. My first thought? Stephen King already wrote that story and wrote it well. My second thought? Maybe there's something different inside the book of which I'm not ...
