I mean, as a homeschooling mom, should I EVER have felt guilty because I wasn't writing because I took my kids to the state museum?! As a wife, should I ever feel guilty because I left my laptop tucked away and spent a whole Sunday watching and talking about PBS documentaries with my Accomplice, or put it away early to do things husbands and wives ought to do from time to time if they'd like to remain happily married?<br /><br />As for the story born of the trip - the memoir will still be there. Going where the inspiration was sounds like just the thing to do. Sitting out in the sun is delightful - I spend a similar amount of time lately listening to the Hamilton soundtrack on Amazon, so that I could read the lyrics and learn to sing some of it (all will take a while!)<br /><br />All of this feeds my writing. I may not always easily be able to see how, but I know it's so the way I know there's more to the ocean than we can see from the surface.<br /><br />It looks to me as though you've made some good progress, even if in unexpected directions.

I think this malaise has spread!

That was a pleasant surprise. She is only in town until the end of the week, but maybe I will run into her again.
