July 9th: Welcome to the Cottage of Bloig

Welcome back to The Cottage of Blog, where the lemonade pitcher is on the table and freshly backed blueberry muffins have just come from the oven. The door that leads to a screened porch is open and we can see our neighbors motors passed the house, or the kids playing out on the raft i the middle of the lake.

It's dead in the middle of Summer. The Fourth of July is gone--the horses thank you, the dogs thank you. It's hot-hot-hot and the heat is stale, oppressive. I don't know about any of you, but all I feel like doing is sleeping. I'm fighting the urge.

Dealines loom ahead like a geometry test that maybe you haven't studied for. Not only haven't you studied for IT, but you never too algebra or nineth grade math. You know the dream where you're naked?

What are you all working on? Let's here from all of you. Lay it on us and let's talk.
I'm on th esecond draft of Water Lilies over my Grave, a suspense/romantic suspense novel.
I'm actually finally happy, I found out a chapter I needed to dispose of didn't need cutting at all, just a bit of revising. I added another short scene and it WORKED!

What makes scenes work for you? What makes you want to cut it and why?
LET'S TALK WRITING:

And now, I have chores.
