Wednesday Writing - Being a Man

Ok, so this is supposed to be a post that has something to do with writing, but I can barely think about writing at the moment.  Of course I'm going to explain myself.

Saturday was a beautiful day.  So I got out the lawn mower and set about the task of mowing the grass short, to be followed by putting a dethatcher attachment on the mower and going over the grass again.  I mowed the yard nice and low, then affixed the attachment.

I started the mower and got in a couple laps worth of dethatching and it died.  It stayed dead too.  I could get it to start, but it would not run more than a few seconds and die.  I opened up the carburetor to clean it out and when I was putting it back the bolt snapped.  Special order item.

New bolt arrived today.  I re-cleaned the carburetor and reattached everything and got it all running and now the mower is running better than ever.  I got the yard done in record time.  Got the fertilizer and weed killer down and in a couple weeks I expect I will have a very beautiful lawn.

I am feeling like a man for being able to fix the mower and everything is all great.

Ok.  I should at least post something about writing.  Latest work in progress now has a new character under development.  I am pretty happy with the character and what she is turning out to be.  I am looking forward to adding more of her background and fulfilling her destiny within the story.
