Luckily – this hasn’t happened to me yet. And yes, I do have imaginary friends – tiny people living inside my head. But I won’t get into that. Simon can describe these little people better than I can – he has to put up with them.

I just finished another story. This one took most of the day. Of course there were a few breaks including a quick shopping trip to Nakusp. Sometimes you just have to suck it up and drive to the big city (population about 800 on a really good day). I mean, the local store does NOT have any sort of toothbrush selection. Really!

And so, I kept writing. About tomorrow, I know only one thing for sure – a walk with Nicky on her property. Will I write? I don’t know. I do know that I have to get out for a full day on Monday. I’m just not quite sure how I’m going to make that happen.

And on Tuesday, a real estate agent.

I feel optimistic that the next step is going to be good for both of us: freedom to do what we love without worrying about money. And maybe some day I won’t worry about winter driving. Maybe.

At any rate, I am planning on spending a good deal more time with my imaginary friends.
