Keep off the grass!

 Tonight's reading was from Romans 7 where Paul is ranting that if the law had never forbidden covetousness he'd never have coveted anything. I don't know - coveting stuff is kind of a human thing to do. Being told NOT to do something can instantly make that the one thing you think about, to the point of obsession. Now, I've weaned myself off some unhelpful ways of thinking. It's a journey, not a one off exercise and sometimes I catch myself trying to drag my mind back to the unhelpful place - but really, I don't want to go there. I'm not missing anything by not thinking those thoughts and, in fact, I know they are deeply unhelpful in all sorts of ways. What I don't do is think about how I'm resisting the thoughts.

Just finished watching an episode of Psych. Apparently there's a pineapple in every episode. I was looking out for one but didn't see it. Enjoyed Gus channelling Huggy Bear, though :D

I managed to avoid the rain, today, so that was a Good Thing.

And I'm keeping up with the editing. Today's story was about a fairy building her winter home, which sounds very whimsical but was actually rather matter-of-fact. It's one of the stories that really needs to be redone from scratch but that's not really the purpose of this exercise. One of the earlier stories needed to be retold from a different pov, which just took a few tweaks to the wording. I'm editing, not writing - or even rewriting. I've started collecting the Harding stories in a separate folder and the others that I think could make a full-length novel in another - for now, under the title 'Guide'. I'm imagining her as a woman with no name, which would be an interesting writing exercise in its own right.

Well, tomorrow beckons, which means putting today to bed. And so to sleep, perchance to dream...
