Grandma Henke

I should try to go to sleep.   It’s 3:30 in the morning and my body is telling me it’s time but my mind is doing cartwheels and back flips all across the living room … off the couches and over the tops of lazy-boy chairs.  I’ve just finished my second novel and there is no stopping the silent celebration of spirit no matter how much the body yearns for a cool, soft pillow.

I’ll celebrate this victory now and take a few weeks off before I tackle the enormous task of editing, which I have found from experiences is where the hard work actually begins.
