Eva’s Byte #383 – Signs
Signs, subtle or obvious, are all around us.
This week I noticed subtle signs portending the seasonal transition to autumn. Tree branches relinquished their symbiotic hold on several leaves whose blades lay shriveled on the ground. A large acorn on the concrete walking path I take, reminded me of the squirrels’ instinctive diligence to gather and store food in preparedness for winter.
I welcome the anticipatory signs of autumn which preface colorful foliage, crisp air, and the cozy ambiance instilled in home and hearth from spice-scented candles.
In the capacity of a writer who’s a pantser all the way, my protagonist has given me a sign to transition into Part 2 of my Contemporary work in progress. I’m currently drafting chapter 19 (993 words thus far). If all goes according to plan, I’ll be following her advice in the following chapter.
*Since the universe abounds with signs, may each of us pay attention to interpret their significance.
My sincere appreciation for reading this far.

Eva’s Byte #443 – Soup’s On!
‘Tis the season for enjoying a cup or bowl of hot soup!
Considered comfort food that’s not too complicated to prepare—especially if you pour it out of a can into a pan—soup can provide nostalgic or sentimental value to the one dipping a spoon into the brine.
Nostalgic for my mother’s homemade soup, these are a few favorites:
Escarole soup minus the beans. Besides the green, leafy stuff for fiber, and flavorings, she added pasta, small meatballs, chicken, cut carrots, and slivers of boiled eggs.
Stew made with red gravy
Pasta e Fagioli
Cabbage soup with ham
Chicken soup
Having the least bit of interest to prepare anything from scratch unless it’s a story I’m concocting, my soup is poured from a can. I’m still fond of the classic favorite, tomato soup, accompanied by a grilled cheese sandwich.
In the capacity of a writer, I’ve finished the draft for chapter43 (1505 words) along part 2 of my Contemporary work in progress. I’ve begun drafting chapter 44 (305 words thus far).
*May each of us enjoy our favorite comfort foods to stave off the cold, cruel realities outside our door.
My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
