Tuesday Short Shrift

The Sessler cabin, built circa 1780 lies, as the crow flies, just over the hill in what is called Haymakertown. I am not sure what happened to the Sessler family and how they left this county; there are none in the phone book. The cabin was restored in the 1960s by a couple with a historic bent. They grew old and sold and now I am not sure what has become of this piece of country history. Time passes.

Today was the supervisors' meeting. Nothing much exciting, but as always on these days I had to hurry home at lunch to write up an article. This is deadline pressure, because the paper prints today and the sooner I can get the story in, the better. The story for today was difficult to write as it was a complex subject. I can only hope I pulled it off. Sometimes I do fail.

I finished the story and sent it off into the e-mail void, then had lunch. Now I'm waiting on a phone call. Wait. Wait. Wait. I have many other items "waiting" for my attention, but I thought this would be a good time to blog before I turn my attention elsewhere.

My novel is stalled at page 30. I need to write 10 pages by tomorrow if I am to keep to my 10 page a week self-imposed deadline. Which is to say, I must be in for a very long night since I have two articles due in the morning. They of course will get first dibs since I will be paid for them.

My other project is to create a website. I don't know about what yet. I invested in a site with software that tells you things by analyzing whatever you're interested in and letting you know how much demand there is, how much supply, and how profitable it may be to do a website. I suppose I could say profit be damned and move on and do what I want, but since I don't really know what I want playing with the analyzer software seems prudent for a bit longer.

This goes back to my being a jill-of-all-trades with no niche and no specialty. I write for local newspapers, where's the profit in that? Nowhere! Oy vey.

I must think beyond the cabin in the woods and out towards the cities, the states, the countries.
