The Beginning

sunny, cold, temps minus 10

Not as cold as yesterday. Just got off the ellitical torture device. 20 minutes..for both of us. Michael - wretched man - refused to do my 20 minutes for me.

Wrote the opening for book 6. won't tell you what it is. Was aiming to do 500 words and ended up at about 800. The first go at it this morning I was happy with but not ecstatic. Then had an idea and tried a new top...and it all came together. Funny how you know when it's right and when it's not quite right. It might still change, of course. But right now I'm happy.

Am tempted to put The End there and pretend I'm finished and the rest is just editing. It's all perception. And a dash of delusion.

We're fasting for tomorrow. I think I know why they call it a fast, because we pray for it to be over quickly. Yes, I am that insightful.

Linda sent the newsletter out today with the giveaway and a recipe for Pouding Chomeur.

Must run, we're off to Montreal. Will try to blog from there. Be well.
