A Day in the Life of Scott Hunter

by Scott Hunter
So, over the weekend made surprising and pleasing progress with website updates. FB ads going well. Have an idea for the WIP. Flushed with optimism, into Monday . . . this week, no IT. No band rehearsals till Thursday. Today I was going to write. Today at 09.45, my son informed me he needed a lift into town because he was sitting his driving test theory.

Drove son to town. Had a coffee, read my mail, didn’t open my WIP. Remember I need to collect my musical equipment from storage. When though? Er . . . . . .

Now . . .

It’s 5pm.

No. . . how?

Dog comes in and asks why he hasn’t had a walk.

Bury head in hands.

Tomorrow is another day . . .
