If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that I’ve thought a lot about writing over the last couple of weeks. Then, I’d mention that thinking about writing does not translate to writing. The past couple of weeks have been a struggle, and I can’t tell you why.
Anyway, it’s late, just past midnight, but there’s coffee in the pot and college football on the tv, so grab a cup and make yourself comfortable and we’ll see how the game turns out. It’s Oregon and Auburn. I recorded it while out running, so if you know who wins, don’t spoil it for me.
If writing has been the dark spot over the last couple of weeks, running has to be the bright counterpoint to that. The half marathon training is going well. Tonight’s run was 9 miles and I’m happy to say they came fairly easy. If the race had been tonight, the distance would not have been an issue, so I’ll probably start doing a bit more speedwork so that perhaps I can finish the race faster than I previously thought I could.
I think I’ll keep this short tonight. Mostly because there’s not much to report, and partly so we can play around on the guitar while the game plays. So feel free to sit back and relax, there’s lots of coffee and more can be brewed it we go through the pot.
Thanks for stopping by, see you next week!
I’ll join you if I can bring my hand drum, or my cedar flute. It’s an awfully nice morning (Sunday, here) and it’s not raining – yet! Have a great week!~Shalom, Bear

Yeah, I’ve either been tired, distracted, or completely unmotivated lately. Oh well, there’s always next week. Have a great week Gary!

That so awesome that your running is going great! Sometimes we just have to focus on those good things. Writing will come back to you. I haven’t done that much writing this summer, but I do feel more inspired as fall approaches. I hope your weekend is fabulous!

Thanks! I’ve been frustrated with the writing lately, and it’s for sure my fault. I need to find that motivation again, but I’m not sure where to look for it. Have a great week!

It will come to you. Have you read any good books lately? Books always inspire me to write.

I’m reading as much as time allows, which is to say, not as much as I’d like. .
