Okay, Writing

On the last post I said I wasn't writing, but then late at night I did write. I guess I have written something every day, except today. Today we talked to my cousin who lives in Toms River and Florida and we were considering the possibility of doing something similar, that is having a home in an adult community here and one in an adult community in Florida. Then I found out that living in an adult community wasn't the same as watching an adult movie. In the former case the word "adult" just means "old." I also felt that if this idea should leak out, our children might start commitment proceedings against us. We had been talking about buying a house in Rochester and now we are thinking about being snow birds? I think that we have abandoned that idea although my cousin thinks it is the best life possible.

I don't feel like writing every day. It's a good thing I'm not trying to make a living by being a writer. I would be very poor. It's just that I don't get inspired each and every day. Some days I think of something to write and other days I don't. Creativity can't be rushed, so I will not worry about it, at least not tonight.

I did do something useful today. I grilled some nice London broil. I used my grill light because it was very dark outside. The light worked fine and the meat came out fine. I even found my way back into the house with it. The characters in my novel aren't too helpful. They can't seem to decide what to do next. Do they expect me to decide for them? Maybe I need some new characters.

Does anyone know how to make the task bar go away in Windows 7? I have set it for "autohide," but it doesn't do it. That's probably why I can't write, because I'm distracted by the task bar.
