Crunch time

Keeping on top of it. Last week of school, relatively easy for me but then the grading that counts begins, the busiest time of the year. But a month off until winter term, a nice break.

Eager to get into the rhythm of the novel. Moreso than the splay, actually, it's more serious material. The older I get, the less patience I have with "commercial" writing. I've already done too much commercial writing for one lifetime. Better, at this stage, to be serious and unread. Try to write something that actually matters. Now and again I succeed, at least by my lights.
