pameladeanI just finished the rough draft of Going North. I am not done in any reasonable sense, even for today. I have to go over the last five or six chapters, which were written at white-hot speed (for me, anyway) and put in as many revisions as I can do in a few hours. Then I have to see if I've really truly conquered Open Office -- that is to say, to see if it will actually print a manuscript with consecutive page numbers and each chapter starting on a different page and everything handsome about it. All the signs look good.
Still, most of the time over the past three years, I thought that I would never get here. The view is lovely.
Happy New Year, everybody, whether you are happily alone, or celebrating with friends, or trapped with people you'd rather have some distance from; whether you're hopeful or wistful or both at once; whether it's been a fine year or a fraught one, I hope that you too can have a pause, a place to feel refreshed, before plunging back into the maelstrom.
