I can’t let go of the synopsis. I reworked the entire draft, but I felt like it wasn’t sharp enough. I want to have a clearer view of the entire story, and this is helping. It’s just taking so flippin’ long to do it. When I’m finished, I hope I’ll know.
In other news, we have a new park. You can see my walking numbers are up. I’m trying to squeeze the miles in before the girls are home from school for the summer.

The family got crafty this afternoon and put together an outdoor chandelier over our patio table. On a pot rack, we hung a string of solar star lights, a few birdhouses the girls painted at a friend’s birthday party, a ceramic fish Cherry made at school, and a fish-shaped clothes hanger that was too cool to throw away. The prisms were collected from a light fixture, trashed from my drama teacher days, and beads were strung on stainless steel wire, an artistic staple around our house. It’s creative, and we made a memory too.
