Now, why would I spend today down in our dark basement when it was gorgeous outside? That would be sheer folly. So I painted the front porch and did some weeding.
I also worked on “The Bride Replete,” which is the first non-novel thing I’ve touched in ages. It feels very good. I’m not ignoring Shades, I’m just still in the resting and rereading period with it.
Congrats on finishing the draft of your novel. I love the feeling of accomplishment when finally finishing a draft that substantial. Alas, I still have at least 40K to go.
This is your third novel, isn’t it?
Thanks! It’s my fifth actually, although the first one is safely in the trunk.
