August!
August 3rd 2008
July passed in a wave of hellos, goodbyes, birthdays, butterfly counts and trips around the state to visit relatives and for Lin’s work. It’s been a busy and productive month, although I don’t know how to explain it in tangible form. I could name the tasks done (maybe) but it has felt more like preparation to do rather than doing. Learning new things is so much part of this job of “writing” that I cannot separate the two, cannot tell when learning something new begins (or ends) and the creative process takes over to morph that into something else.
August . . . the hot month, the month of humidity and days that last forever, the noise of buses passing the house in the mornings, and the quiet of kids gone back to school during the days. A good month to be inside, to be learning, to be writing.
