Back in the Saddle



This handsome reclining man is my husband. For years, he was an avid bicycle rider. He doesn't ride as often now, but this particular day when he came upstairs and got in this horizontal position, he confided, "I'm thinking about riding."

This, dear hearts, is the difference between thinking and doing. You know how sometimes we think about writing? I've been thinking about working on that young adult novel I started eons ago. And lately with a writers workshop a week away, I've been thinking about looking over the rough draft of a manuscript I want to take to get some help on. Will I think about or write, think about or edit? Hmm. I probably need to think about that. But I can guarantee which action is more profitable. By the way, the snoozing man did ride later that day, after cutting a few Z's.

What are you thinking about working on? And when will you do it? Take a nap if you must. Clears the head.
