The March Hare

Today I completed the first draft of the first third of my novel. That means four chapters, done, at least until I write eight more chapters and then revise them all. 2006 is going to be the year I finally finish this thing.

I am rereading Muriel Spark's The Comforters, her first novel, which amazes me. Tonight I will go wait some tables and make a bit of money.

I am heartened by the fact that it is only noon, and that I have already accomplished so much today. Including chasing my dog for five blocks while she ran wild down the street, then taking her home only to have her crawl into shady spots along the way and lie down like the lazy beast she is. I even made my bed today.

I'm going to have a good week.
