back to work......

ok, so weekends are far too short....we all know this travesty to be true, but somehow i could not fight the urge to see the words in print. for the weekend feeling short, sunday afternoon seemed to draf on forever while we tag-teamed support for a child writing a report......to be accurate, writing a report without referring to the directions or the grading breakdown for each of the required sections. at one point my overly emotional child tried to convince me and herself that the three descriptive words listed in a section all by themselves was worth 30 points out of 100...and that there was no need for her to go back online to gather additional information that would fuel an expansion effort.......oy!.......thankfully, i was able to get back to my book, a novel that is fully expanded in terms of character description, setting of the story in place and time, and its forward-driven plot......thanks be to iris for avoiding one of those annoying flashback laden works.......and bless her heart for having the internal work ethic that drove her to write her own fiction without the need for parents to stand behind her every keyboard-click of the way.......
