End of... End of... Back to the Desk

Gosh, it's the end of September. How did that happen?

Renovating, that's what happened. There's an old adge that says buy a new lamp and you'll end up buying a new table to sit it on and a new rug to stand the table on and... 

My own started with rubbing at a mark on the wallpaper. The trouble is, these things take faaaaar longer than anticipated. Not only that, I gamely thought I'd be able to write while I was decorating. Ha!

But, just as with the change in autumn colours, the new garb is both uplifting and stimulating. So, with due irony, tomorrow I shall close the door on it and decamp to my office to search out all those dusty work-in-progress notes. And blog. How about that for turning a new leaf. What did you do this summer?

  1. What did I do? Too much of everything else, and not enough writing!

    1. Ah yes, Stuart, but that's all part of revitalizing the creative well, isn't it?

    2. That's what I like to kid myself into believing! Been better today - lots of really useful editing done!

    3. But I find that usually it is. Decluttering what euphemistically passes for my working environment I found some interesting thought doodles and an entire hardcopy chapter of a work that I truly thought had escaped 'Save'. Drinks all round!

    4. Ah, the joys of the 'tidy up'. I, too, have found things I thought lost. There's a novel sitting in a ring binder, written decades ago, and begging a rewrite. One day...
