Friday Writing

I continue to see Friday as my day off, but sometimes, it's tough. Having lost a day to the snow this week, I found myself working quite a bit on my sermon, which was fine. But I also found a few minutes to write an essay for a clergy magazine. Wrote it, revised it, sent it to the editor. She wrote back an hour later saying, "Nice work. We'll take it."

I'm getting better at this hack writing. I know I'm a hack when I can turn out a thousand word essay in thirty minutes and find a home for it. That, or there are some very needy editors out there.

Either way, it's nice to know I can dredge up some words when I need to.
