PROMISE NOT TO FOG


I sit…
I stare at the computer screen…
I want the words to come.
They’re not there yet.
Guess I’ll float for awhile longer.
NOT!
I made a commitment months ago to write a post today…
For my writer group, Maumee Valley Romance Writers of America.
I had to drag my muse out of herself to do this…
But a promise is a promise.
So…
You can catch me over at the MVRWA blog today.
Oh, and have a great Easter weekend.

Always, Em-Musing

DEATH IN PARADISE (not the TV series)

Perhaps some have wondered where I’ve been…
Perhaps some not…
No matter…
I need to explain my absence…
And why it may take me awhile…
To get back in the swing of things.
As you already know…
My blog is mostly the lighter side of life…
But light is not my heart right now.
A few weeks ago…
The love of my life died…
Due to complications from diabetes.
He was the sweetest man I ever met.
And I never thought I would find love again…
At this stage of my life.
Several years ago...
I wrote a novel about our unlikely romance...
As he was twenty-three years younger.
A year ago…
We moved to Akumal, Mexico to build a life together…
Also a writer’s retreat.
And three months ago, we moved into our new home.
Today?
I struggle with the details of what happened.
I manage to go through all the motions…
And emotions of getting through the days…
But I worry about my muse.
I thought after all the details of the funeral…
Which was in his hometown two hours away by plane…
And after my family and friends went back to the States…
That my muse would come out of hiding…
Not yet. My writing is not there.
Well, not entirely true…
I’ve written several pages venting my anger.
I’m strong though. My faith is strong...
I know that death is a part of life…
And tomorrow is promised to no one...
But for now…
I and my muse...
I think we'll just float for awhile.
