Diary of a Writer: Memorial Day Writing

AMEN!

It's Memorial Day. I'm writing. There's no paid holiday in the writer's life. No one to write words for me if I'm not backside-in-chair.


I don't get additional days tacked onto my deadline for the holidays that come along. 


Yet, at the same time, there are work days I can blow off for one reason or another. Time management, I suppose, is key to the writer's life.


But there is no determining if a deadline comes at a good time. This deadline is a tight turn around so I'm working.


Won't be the first or last time.


And truly, I don't mind. I love my job that much.


If I get busy, I can knock off later this afternoon and do something with hubby. Go to, or watch a movie. I like to watch "Saving Private Ryan" every Memorial Day.


I get concerned at how our nation is beginning to take freedom's for granted. How Political Correctness has taken down our guard against enemies foreign and domestic.


Greed, desperation, naivitee is what allowed Hitler to rise to power. Let's be aware folks. Let's stand on our own and not expect the government to provide all of our solutions.


A friend said to me the other day, "If the system our forefathers put into place was working, we'd have a bunch of small, local governments, town hall meetings in every city."


I think he has a point.


Pray for our country. Pray for the Lord to have mercy on us. Pray for our fighting men and women.


Do you have any Memorial Day traditions? 


Okay, off to write. Hey, peruse past posts and read about the Beautiful Brides!
