Friday JohnKu- AKA – TGIF

TGIF

 

 

Another work week into history. I hope yours was full of the accomplishments you laid out for yourself before its beginning. I have slowly returned to working on the WIP. My daughter was visiting for the  Fourth of July holiday, and I didn’t get much writing done while she was here. I managed the blog and e-mails, but that was about it.

Feels good to get back at it. Today’s JohnKu talks about the lure of the manuscript. I hope you all have a great weekend.

Could write a hundred,

Maybe even a thousand. . .

If on WIP all’s good.

      Thank you, Dan. I found the key to retirement is to work as hard as one did while employeed. The difference is to work hard on those things that bring pleasure. Happy weekend.

        That is my plan, John. I’m not one to sit around. I hope write more, spend time in the shop and finish some projects around this place. We aren’t moving anywhere, so my goal is to make this place easier and easier to take care of.

    Great quote, John! It’s really cool when our manuscripts call to us and we miss our characters when we are away.
