Sometimes I daydream about living in some exotic locale, like Oahu. After Minnesota has been hit twice with early October snow, I’m thinking about it now more than ever.

Of course, warm weather has its downsides, such as the distractions of getting out on the beach and enjoying the tropical locale. But really, what could be more inspiring than spending some time in a tropical paradise?

Yeah, I daydream about it. And then I stop procrastinating and get back to writing.

I like writing Torah commentaries for my Messianic synagogue and value those opportunities like rare diamonds. However, after almost a year of doing them every week, I am looking forward to being part of a rotating team of three.

I believe the extra time will make the commentaries I do write better; but I also believe that the extra time will finally free up some hours to allow me to make some forward progress on my novel.

Now all I have to do is make sure I don’t pour the extra time into playing Facebook games.
