of a tennis player, hiker, writer |
Like I don’t have enough projects as it is…I just discovered something new. My muse will NEVER get lost again. (at least that’s the plan.) And how could it? With thousands of things to write about. In my head, I’m pretending its just a contest. A daily contest. All I have to do is write a 300 word essay or article on anything I want. I can write longer pieces, but I narrowed it down to 300 so the task won’t seem so daunting. I know me, and I’ll probably trip over the topic. Already, I have like three things I can whip out. Maybe I should write all three in one day. Instead, the goal can be seven in a week. Not, one a day. Yeah. I like that idea better. After awhile, I want to raise the word count to 500. Let’s give me a month at 300. So, on September 10th, if I haven’t done so already, I begin writing 500 word articles and essays. Reggie stopped by the center right when I was about to go hit on the wall. He was looking for a gold chain his friend lost Monday evening while playing tennis here. The chain was a gift from the guy’s father. I haven’t seen it. Reggie chatted for a bit, asking about the pictures on my wall. I showed off my Brian Vahaley one – since Reggie’s a 4.0 tennis player. I knew he’d know who BV was. It’s pretty cool having a number two admin guy that plays tennis. Hopefully, always looking out for us. ya know. I mentioned to him he should get his team to practice here, at my facility. He said he’d talk to the captain. When he left, I hit on the wall and felt pretty good. I’m trying to find my comfort zone to hit the ball. I’m still reaching for it a bit more than I should. Tonight’s my lesson – if it doesn’t rain. 45 minutes this time. Leagues start in about four weeks. |
