Off to Maryland!

Hi Elaine,

I’m going off to Maryland, and then to New York to visit close friends. Don’t think I’m going your way, alas…!

Meanwhile, I am walking on air. I sent a copy of my latest chapter draft off to my writing coach and got back this response:

“All Right! You nailed it this time. Great writing. This is about perfect. A quantum leap.”

So I am psyched. I’m only thirteen pages into the chapter (typed, single spaced, so probably about 26 pages in the book), but they’re thirteen good pages. It’s going well!

I also went out and bought three skeins of BRIGHT pink, frayed-edge ribbon. I’m knitting it up on giant needles into a hot pink tutu, and plan to put tufts of holographic angelina on it to spice it up a little. I bought another skein of green-purple-blue ribbon, and am going to knit it into a VERY open mesh and then hang peacock feathers from it. Should make for quite a tutu!

I also bought some cycling jerseys (I’m on an unstoppable shopping campaign) so I can decorate them to match the tutus. Woo hoo!
