We had a saying in ‘Nam, “It’s a good day because nobody tried to kill me.” After the last couple of weeks, I have to say, “It’s a good day because I don’t have any medical appointments!” The sum total of all the appointments is there is nothing new.
Waiting and going back and forth to the appointments, I have been thinking about one completed novel and a new idea for another one. The completed novel has bothered me because I know it could be more substantial. I will have to go back through it and add a sentence or two in critical spots. The new idea has enough material for a good book, but I don’t want to become too large and it easily could. So you see, I haven’t been wasting my time with appointments.
