Another step forward

Being nice to Hannah of the day:

Happy birthday, Hannah. Many happy returns!

Another Virgo. Waddaya know. :-)

Writing business of the day: Finally managed to squeeze out chapter 27 of NW. Man, that one was lodged...But no. Perhaps that wouldn't be the best metaphor to pursue. Suffice it to say, this one was recalcitrant about coming out into the sunshine.

And in the unlikely event you haven't seen this already, matociquala has a terrific blog here about having a writing career.

Inventory! The concept helped me get over myself and finish chapter 27. Because I haven't got long to go on this novel, and I need to finish it before a year elapses so I can have more inventory. Yes, yes! Very good!

Now, somebody pass the chocolate...

The new Old South

Read it and weep, ladies and gentlemen:
