Today’s update:
I met a drummer friend yesterday, along with another artist—a goldsmith. My drummer friend has been trying to work steadily every day. Four hours. He writes it down. He inspired me to try again. If he can drum for four hours a day, maybe I can find time to write? Just do it. “Do it” He said
He works at night; I am a morning person. So, I did my four hours in four 50 minute chunks this morning. It’s nice to be done by 9:30.
The other friend, the goldsmith, said, “I only let myself start on something new once I’ve finished something.”
That is my challenge—always starting something new. Perhaps I can finish something, before starting on another big project..
Anyway, a nice morning on the bricolage chapter. Re-read the whole draft. Lots to do.
I ended on a side tangent re-reading Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own. She’s talking about women and fiction; I think I’m talking about distraction and anthropology.
But anyway, I have to finish reading it again tomorrow.
For now, I’m done and of to a maple syrup sugar shack with the kids.
