Thank you for the encouragement. Progress this week has been two steps forward, one step back.

But you do. <i>Truly.</i><br /><br />And yes - Japan, the Middle East. It's hard not to feel it looming. But each day we have living to do. The business of living. Our little piece in the puzzle of our families and offices and communities. We have to keep going. What else is there?<br /><br />And you, <i>chere CT</i> - keep at it. You'll get there!BigLittleWolfhttp://dailyplateofcrazy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356184928339139776.post-24135918562046715252011-03-23T13:58:29.630-05:002011-03-23T13:58:29.630-05:00Hi Sherlock -- yes, so very close.

Way to go! And I think your schedule sounds great. Those kinds of diversions are exactly what writers need (or so I've read). Walks, friends, the arts. Skiing. No justifications necessary. Whenever I read writer's diaries or letters, that's the kind of stuff their lives are made of. Sounds like a wonderful balance (even if you don't feel especially balanced right now).<br /><br />And, yes, the devastation is Japan is, for me, apocalyptically unimaginable.<br /><br />Hang in there!Good Enough Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531793545583712309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356184928339139776.post-70696531804122720372011-03-22T10:57:37.549-05:002011-03-22T10:57:37.549-05:00Nine pages?

You have my complete and utter sympathies - but look, the end is indeed in sight and how wonderful you will feel when you push the chair back from the monitor, heave that proverbial sigh of relief and shout for joy that you have finished.<br /><br />I'm rooting for you, CT and I've missed you<br /><br />x<br />JulieFrench Fancy...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04941577892849157015noreply@blogger.com
