today was another blessed and glorious day.
i spoke with a writer friend of mine. she’s having problems finding work.
so many of us are. it’s sad. i hope things will get better.
until then i want to focus on helping those i know and encounter in hanging in there surviving–giving them what i’d want and need when i’m struggling. my friend spoke of a friend.
the relationship sounded interesting, reminded me of a short story i’ve read, and liked, by jhumpa lahiri.
my friend expressed having difficulty writing. they’ve have a couple novels and novellas published.
i suggested they write a story based on the relationship with this friend and the dynamics of the relationships in their friend’s life.
i hope my author friend writes the story.
it would be good. and i’m excited to read it.
it would also be timely.
i tried to give my author friend what i have needed in the past when things have been difficult, when life with all its worries and curves swerved even sharper, and what i have received in some way.
interestingly enough i got an idea about a story i could right.
it was totally unrelated to what my friend had been sharing about their friend. again, i hope my friend writes the story. when we give without thinking we receive so much in return.
i really hope they write the story.
how’s your writing going?
how are your relationships with friends and family going?
