ONCE UPON A TIME

I feel, sadly, that I've taken down entire rain forests trying to write a particular novel. Which doesn't stop me from trying again. I began the latest effort on January 1. I used that New Year Resolution infrastructure of trying to write every single day on the novel, even if it's just a few words.

It's still fragile, but I'm pausing to have an ever-so-brief moment of celebration for fortitude:
