Sorry for the slow week of postings, but I’m up at Goddard and all of my writing time is focused solely on my creative thesis, which — holy shit! — must be complete and in my advisor’s hands by August 18th. I’m in a decent place with the novel. I’ve got about 300 pages written, and two nights ago, I sat down and wrote the first draft of what I think might be the ending, which means, while the book is far from done, I’m no longer writing into the darkness. I can see the lights of a landing strip ahead.

Of course, they say landing is the most difficult part of flying, so I’m not about to take the next six weeks for granted. But now I at least know where I’m going. And that make it easier to breathe.

Anyway, just wanted to give you an update about why it’s been quiet. Tomorrow’s the last day, then Dawn and I head over to Maine to spend 4th of July weekend on the lake. Rumor has it my grandfather’s bringing a keg. Should be a fine good time.

So, unless I post something else before Monday, have a great rest of the week.

Enjoy:
