First Draft Is Finished

Last week, I completed the first draft of my new novella, JACKIE GOES TO DIXIE. Wife Sandy has read it and, although she's made a few minor suggestions, she likes it.
I haven't looked at the manuscript again since I finished it, and I probably won't until sometime later this week. I want to get some distance from it before I read and start working on it again. In the meantime, I'm reading a pretty good thriller by Robert Crais.
Today, I'm taking my Honda in for what will, hopefully, be a minor, no-cost repair to the seat belt. The problem is that this early morning visit is only going to be an assessment. I'll have to bring it back when they get the part.
I'm also set for cataract surgery on my right eye the first week of next month, then like surgery on my left eye the following month. Everybody assures me that it's really a no problem procedure, but the prospect of somebody cutting into my eyes is scary.
Also this past week, I finally saw STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS, which is currently airing on Starz. It was fun; certainly repetitive of the original trilogy, but it was nice re-visiting those characters again.
You have a creative week.
Michael
