What Can I Say?

I spent yesterday and today revising my short story, Clara Betta.  I've sent it to a couple of trusted readers but I'm ready to send it out to a literary magazine very soon.  It feels good.
Now it's time to go face my novel again.  I almost restarted revising today but I lost my nerve.
Instead, I faced a box of soaked files. A couple of weeks ago my basement flooded.  I was able to shred five years worth of paperwork.  It made me aware that I could get rid of more stuff.  I have that bug again as I was going thru it all.
I found pages of my time as a sales rep and all the background with my transfer. I didn't realized I've been carrying that around for so long. As I was reading through the material all of the old anger came back up for me.  It's amazing that I've never really let that go.  Good Lord!!  After I ripped the pages up I promised myself that I was letting it all go.
I also finished Sarah Waters, The Paying Guests.  I really enjoy her writing.  I shlepped that 500+ page hardcover back and forth for weeks.  It's interesting that since I know her writing, I was anticipating a twist in her story. And when the obvious twist didn't happen, it  was a surprise.  The ending was bittersweet.
