Sometimes Writing Means NOT Doing What You Want

It can be a sacrifice

Today, I decided to skip the annual Pie Town fest in Pie Town, New Mexico.

I’ve wanted to do it since I moved here four years ago. The festival was canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid, but it returned this year. Unfortunately, it’s only a one-day event. It’s also a five-hour drive there and back.
