For the last week have been trying to finish a short story. The story itself is already written. Actually a couple of versions are completed. My next step is to merge the two, keeping the best. After that will have to rewrite so the sound and the flow of the merged parts are similar. And then rewrite, cut, and rewrite.
This is the time that getting down to write is the most difficult for me. The story is done. I am happy with it. The re-writing is even fun but everything in the world becomes an excuse not to do the polishing, trimming, and presenting.
Today I am going to do it ........after returning some books to Kenosha (the Nina is at the harbour --can't miss that), calling the shop about my car's power window, and those boxes from the storage garage need to be unpacked, and the recently unpacked flatware needs to be washed. Today those two versions will be sewn together and trimmed...... I see that on yesterday's to-do list at the top. I wonder why I didn't get to it Tuesday?
