My Red Neck Friend: writing is so hard

writing is so hard

It's deadline week. I'm reading. I'm editing. I'm questioning. I'm rewriting.

It's hard work and exhaustive. For those of you who have hated writing since 6th grade, today is the day I totally agree with you.

Back to writing.

Judy's Journey

General George Washington's crossing on the Delaware River, Christmas night, 1776 (Washington Crossing, PA) . . . . . . Is perception everything? I look through my camera lens at this unique world Perfect clarity without the slightest bit of haze. Auto-focus plus rose-colored glasses. However get real, there’s always haze. Even Washington was surprised by the amount of snow and ice that bombarded his men. The unexpected is always around the corner - on our daily journey as well as those out-of-the ordinary. But with a little tweaking and patience, I can focus, put things in perspective and then ‘click’ the shutter. Get the shot. Make it a part of me. My red neck friend flutters above my left shoulder and teaches me lessons. Know what you need and where to find it and, then, go get it. Perception, persistence, and patience. Not a bad lesson.
