It's summertime and the living is easy….right? Perhaps not. Most of us still slog to the office or work long hours. But whether you get to take a vacation, kick your feet up, enjoy a splash at the shore—or not—I offer this post in the spirit of summer fun.
It happened the other morning as I was enjoying the swing in my backyard. Looking around at the explosion of early summer growth in the garden and flower beds, I saw chores waiting. Chores I hadn't gotten to because of my writing, mostly. And so I did what any writer would do: (No, I didn't don the gardening gloves and get to work.) I wrote a poem! Yes, it's an exaggeration, but I think many of us who tend home and family and garden as well as writing novels will admit to entertaining such "Wishful Thinking."
