Homework
Well, school’s started.
Your house is quiet.
Time to get writing.
But let’s be honest, letting go of those hazy, lazy days of summer is not easy. This summer I’ve enjoyed reading for pure pleasure and daydreaming of sandy beaches.
Are you mocked by your computer screen too? Mine stares at me like a two-year old who doesn’t understand the word no.
However, I’m determined to get my groove back and shake out the cobwebs. At my age, not an easy thing.
So it’s back to basics, and homework. Prompts to get the rust off and articles, books and websites that remind me how to write. Yes, I need reminding.
I’ve listed a few of my favs. Hope they help you get going this fall.
