Thoughts on a slow summer afternoon
The great recipe project continues with progress that pleases me while making little actual difference in the sheer volume of paper lurking in binders and flles. The scent of the decaying paper is making my allergy symptoms worse than usual. I take a pill and press on.
My characters are laughing silently on paper as I leave them to ferment in their own limbo. When I get back to them, will they be the same? Will I be unable to pick up where I left off and keep the action flowing and hold a reader's interest, or will the characters have become flaccied and one-dimensional?
Since I did not reproduce, who will actually inherit all these recipes? Is what I'm doing worthwhile? Or is it a waste of time and energy? After all, I'll never make even half of these recipes into actual meals or snacks.
Are recipes more important than fictional characters in the grand scheme of the universe? Is there an actual grand scheme in the universe?
The writer in me said to put something here today, so I did.
