With coffee and writing implements at hand, I can determine the shape of today.

I tend to write in the morning. After morning coffee and writing comes whatever the day holds...work, more writing, family time, reading, maybe even some gaming. It just depends...but writing first, always. And once I start writing, I get an idea not only of what I'm writing about, but how the rest of my day will go. Hence, the shape of today.

I came home yesterday (by far the hottest day of the year so far, the car registered 110 degrees even with the sun shades) to find an email from WDC announcing I'm now a "preferred author". My brain had stopped braining sometime after lunch, so all I could do was mutter "wuzzat?" and head for the kitchen.

This morning I'm much more lucid and deeply touched. I've never stopped visiting WDC, but I have been quite sporadic in my visiting and participation here. Sometimes the reason is financial (I can't always afford to upgrade), and sometimes the reason is creative, such as when Dad passed. I know it happens to us all, but it always made me feel guilty.

It appears WDC never lost faith in me, though, so now I've got a reputation to uphold. If nothing else I need to get on the stick and get some more reviews under my belt. And enter a few more of these fun competitions...so often I'll make a note of a contest's criteria then never get around to writing an entry. And most importantly...I've got to let others know about this site. I even have a co-worker or two who might enjoy it. Maybe even some patrons.

And for now...the workday calls.
