Dear Hildie:

 

So much happening here. But I can’t assume this is normal—In this work, it’s likely to be a blip and you can’t count on it.

 

Been reading about Chaucer’s work as a collector of customs. Poor guy!

 

Ate cereal for breakfast today. Crunchy—fruits and berries in it.

 

Waiting for a client to call me back.

 

Take care.

 

Love,

Dear Hildie:

 

 

Funny thing about this project I’m writing now: I just wasn’t satisfied at all until I read a review of another entirely unrelated novel in the NY Times book Review and then suddenly the light went on about structure. Then I went on line and saw a book that seemed so apropos, and another light went on. I push myself to get things finished but I guess I need to think them through first. But I have a feeling that if I don’t chew on them by writing a few drafts, I won’t ever get to that point.

 

Take care.

 

Love,

M
