I don’t know why I feel so frustrated today but I have a good idea.
WHY?
I had a pretty quiet weekend. Birthday party, saw the horses, watched endless Christmas movies that would make most men throw up, edited, blogged, went and took pictures at the park for the first time in almost 2 years and swam… several times… but it was all on my time. Yes, I had headaches, several of them but the weekend was just really nice.
Then back to work this morning… nope, first I woke at 5:00 and did manage, at some point, to get back to sleep… wasn’t enough though so I’m at work and I’m tired. I’m also getting another headache which may or may not be related to the fatigue, the weather or the damn chair at the office! Combination of all three?
It didn’t help that at one point I was getting text messages like crazy… and my adrenaline levels shot up when the text from my mom starts of OH MY GOD! She goes on to say that my dad was throwing some stuff down the ravine behind their trailer (they’ll cut the grass and rake leaves and toss it down… not garbage or anything else!) and he went with it! Heart pounding, mind racing… who can cover for me and how fast can I get to Goderich! Will be putting the Rogue to the test today… but, she goes on to say, that he managed to grab onto a small tree but she had to use a rope to help him back up.
I’m sure now you understand!
On the writing/editing front I have managed to come up with a few more titles… most starting with Bridge of… Tears; Love; Hope; Loss; Jealousy; Secrets. You get the idea… the only thing is that the bridge is just the focal point of the village but other than some stolen kisses and tears it’s just there.
I still like Haven of Secrets which led me to actually come up with the name for the B&B and even though it’s her aunt and uncle’s I thought they could name it Cozy Haven B&B and when they decide they can’t look after it anymore they will give it to her… hence the name… I think it all fits perfectly!
It’s getting there… slowly! I also find myself making way more changes than I should be at this point… I think I’m either getting picky or overthinking. However, there are words missing and I’m wondering if I accidentally removed them when I was highlighting sections to put changes in… will REALLY have to watch that in the next round!
