No writing done, no ideas, nothing. I spent the morning with my dear friend Charlie. He and I never run out of things to talk about. We cover politics, fishing, people we know, everything. He had to go to work and I had to run errands. He laughed because I was headed to Lowes. As soon as I leave the City, that’s where I go. I got things for the coming task of going through boxes, plus I bought cleaning supplies. When I got back home I began scouring the kitchen. It was “boy clean.” Looked good but didn’t sparkle. I was scrubbing the sink and thought, I wonder if Danielle Steel does this? Somewhere in there Elana, my Pocket editor’s assistant, emailed me that the corrections for Change of Heart would be here soon, but so far not yet. I always dread them. Is it going to be a complete rewrite where I have to start on page one? Something like take out a character? Change the personality of a person? Or is it going to be simple things like an echo problem, meaning that I’ve used a word or phrase too often? I once had a hero’s eyes twinkling on nearly every page. Right now I’m sitting under my tiki hut, enjoying the gorgeous weather, and looking at my pretty garden. This is the quiet before the storm. By this time tomorrow I will have more than I know what to do with. If you’re away from home for a while, what’s the first store you go to when you return? Jude
