cj Sez: I’m watching my grass grow and my flowers drown:
This has been going on for weeks…almost 10 inches of rain
fell in July…and believe it or not, a meteorologist says the 38 inches Mobile
has received so far this year is a less-than-normal rainfall total. Doesn’t seem like it
to me. I have to wear boots to squish through tall, soggy grass on my way to feed
the birds in the mornings. ‘Course come Oct (the usual driest month), I’ll be
complaining because I have to water my plants.

What I’m discovering is that getting a grant proposal approved is a
tough nut to crack, and it’s not just because of the application language and format.
Seeking local company sponsorships and donations might be the better way to
approach fulfilling their need. We’ll see.
§§
I’ve been asked to update my author bio with some specific
information. I’m hoping that means one of my short stories has been accepted by
the editor of an upcoming 2022 anthology. More info to come.
I’m still procrastinating on my novel. I thought I had
finished it and am in the midst of editing it for the nth time. I really do
want to finish the task but somewhere along the way, I’ve lost my enthusiasm
for the project. I’m waffling on just about every aspect of the story.
One way
I’m trying to recharge is to read other authors’ stories. Maybe one of
them will start my creative juices flowing again. Or maybe I need to write a
short story to submit to a magazine. Being rejected used to get me working
harder.
§§
That’s it for today’s post. You-all guys keep on keeping on,
and I’ll try to do the same. Raising prayers for your health and safety.
