If you had to develop the outline of a script for the season
finale of a TV show about your life since March, what would you include? What plots and subplots unfolded in your life
through spring and summer? Would your series be mystery, comedy, fantasy,
drama, animated, or a new genre? Would you
need to use poetic license or move events around to build tension before
resolving all problems in one hour? How
would laughter and joy be incorporated into scenes and who would be the main
players in your story? 
I ask because I started this blog in early spring, 22 weeks
ago, a time span that equals a season for a TV series. During my blog-series
you’ve had comedy, drama, mystery, news, weather, and even some sports. Behind the scenes, here is what happens. From one Monday to the next something triggers
an idea and before I know it I’m wearing the hats of scriptwriter, designer, editor,
producer, director and spending a couple of usually enjoyable hours at my
computer. There have been times when one
musing was nearly ready and then an overheard remark, a sunrise, a headline,
well, something caught my fancy and another topic appeared in your email
instead of what I’d originally planned.
I love the process! I also love
the responses, the encouragement, and the appreciation you each have shared.
But now it’s time for a hiatus. The Monday Muser is taking some time off with
a plan to be back in mid-October, so this is not a series finale, just a wrap
up to the first season. Please stay in
touch during this break. Let me know
something that you’ve been mulling over and musing about or what you’ve found
a-musing. I invite you all to think
about being a guest blogger during the break or sometime during Season Two. You may find it rewarding. I do and thank you for making it so.
