Lately I’ve been feeling a lot of stress. This is nothing
new to anyone who writes. But I mean a lot
of stress.
Here is just a sampling:
- A honey-do list longer than Santa’s.
- Neighborhood problems that cause me concern for the safety of our residents, especially my wife.
- Two recall notices on my car.
- Trees that have grown so large their shade is killing my lawn. But the weeds love it.
- A hole in the bathroom wall screaming for attention.
- Four bedrooms, one hallway and one stairway that need carpets re-stretched.
- A sloped lot with extreme erosion issues and a budget that requires my doing all the work.
- A need to hand dig a trench and install a French Drain while nursing pulled back and chest muscles.
- Other health challenges that require extensive research and prayer.
- And just to make it interesting, I decided to write 50,000 words in 20 days.
But enough about me. What do you think of my situation?
Truthfully, we all face a great deal of stress in our daily
lives. Some put on us by circumstance, some by our own agendas. And if you’re
like me, most stress does not make for good writing.
