A dim and distant memory

Why is it that even after only a few days that holidays seem like a dim and distant memory?

Everything was back to normal on Monday as usual and after only an hour or so it seemed like we had never been on holiday. It didn't really hit me until I went to bed. What a time for it to hit. I am in the bed on my own. Great! This isn't a brilliant time to be feeling lonely. I couldn't get to sleep because of it. Even now I am finding it difficult and it is now Thursday.

But on saying that I have got back into the swing of working on my novel. I am into my fourth draft now. I hope to get it finished soon and then maybe, just may be, I can get it sent off to an agent. The only time that I have been this nervous is when I have been waiting for exam results or going for an interview and my nerves always get the better of me. Even now. You would think that with all the experiences I have had over the years that this wouldn't be an issue, but it is, and I don't think I am going to be able to get rid of them now. I can, I suppose, forever live in hope. I felt sorry for all those who were getting results back this year. Futures depend on what is in those envelopes. How terrifying. I wouldn't want to be back at High School and doing my exams. I can feel then nerves just thinking about it. Those days, I am thankful to say, will always be a dim and distant memory.

Until next time.
