I’ve given myself the goal of finishing my book by the end of the summer. I hope beyond hope that it goes well.
To this end, I won’t be posting as often. Also, I must apologize for not commenting as much as I’d like, on all of your wonderful and interesting blogs. I do love to read them, and would love to leave thoughtful comments, but right now I’m finding myself spending all my free time (of which I have precious little) working on this blasted book. Which I will finish, you see.
Honestly, I’m falling back in love with it (our relationship being a sort of on-again, off-again one), but this editing and re-writing process is slow going. And, I still need to finish up the ending. There is a lot to do.
In any case, I am here. I haven’t fallen off a cliff, or anything. Just working, working, working.

i wish you well in your completion endeavor. that was not my favorite part, wrapping up the ms, that is. but, yes, at the end, i had fallen in love with it again as well, making it all the harder to let go.
Good for you and good luck! I look forward to hearing how it goes!!

I just returned from a 3 week journey to North America and a recent 7 day hike through the Overland Track which runs through the wild mountains and rivers of Tasmania. I feel pure like a waterfall streaming down Cradle Mountain.
I am happy for you that you are working on aomething creative and that you are passionate about. You are lucky to toil on your craft.
Enjoy and keep us posted on your progress.
Yay! You CAN do it.
When we get back, I’d love to have the kids over some afternoons if you need some writing time. I know how important this is to you…and how hard you’ve been working on it.
Here’s to a productive summer !

Sometimes just giving yourself a deadline really helps–good for you! I am rooting for you and can’t to read what you’ve been working on! I am sure it will be a success.
having fun writing? excellent – now when you want an excuse to blog, you have been given a dose of blog love on mine.
My dear Wild Sister, free spirit and thinker, I am sooooooooo glad to hear this. Forget about all of us and do what you are being “called” to do. For it truly is a calling. I can’t encourage you enough. You are truly one of the MOST shining and pithy writers of your time…of any time. And you will enrich the world with your wisdom, gutsiness and willingness to embrace emotion. If you need encouragement contact me and I will help keep you moving forward. Right from day one, I knew I had stumbled on a rare rare soul, one who was both exceedingly wise and aware and one who was fully alive. I also knew I was reading writing like I’d never read. You take writing beyond writing into a transmission of soul into soul. In other words, you do not speak with words, you speak with your entire soul. And you share with us your soul’s connection to the sensual world in which you commune, in which you are deeply entrenched, in which you are part of, in which you ARE. You ARE that world Mary. Your connection to it was never severed or forgotten….like so many others. You are a treasure deeply dear to my heart, as deep as it goes. You are one who keeps me going, keeps me authentic and gutsy. I embrace you with great love and kinship. You are indeed my Wild Sister. I love you. Robin xoxoxoxoxxoxox Always.
