Watched my husband game, talked to our daughter, read a bit of a novella …</p> <p>Remembered a weird thing about my reading habits. Sometimes, in a lovely, lushly described work if I care for the characters, I stop reading early, especially if I can see how very much the characters have to lose. I don&#8217;t want to be torn apart inside as they go through hell. So I tend more toward light, escapist reading than heart-wrenching, award-quality reading. More true for longer fiction than short. (This is problematic for award nominations and voting, yes.)</p> <p>Anyway, eventually eked out 656 words.</p> <p>And wow, it&#8217;s late! I must to bed.</p> <p><small>Originally published at <a href="https://www.erinmhartshorn.com/sleepy-sunday/">Erin M. Hartshorn</a>.
