Well, howdy there, Stranger!

It’s been a while, Adam tells me.

This month, some Narrators Who Write (hey, that’s me!) are doing a challenge to write for 30 minutes every day in January. I think I’ve missed three days so far. I think it helps that I have a plethora of things to choose from: I’m back to hacking away at draft 2 of the novel I started in my 20s; I’m editing The Doctor’s Garden, nèe Chekhov’s Backyard; one day I wrote ideas of songs and the next day I wrote two songs from that list, and of course, here I am, writing here.

The Doctor’s Garden is going in two completely different directions: one draft is sharpening up the comprehension of the original by making the Doctor the narrator. The other is kind of a Chekhov fugue state, filled with dance, silent scenes with commentary, and other symbolistic dreamy scenes (or drenes….I’ll just see myself out, then).

But the habit is forming, and it feels good.
