Insanabile Cacoethes Scribendi
An incurable itch for scribbling [cacoethes scribendi]
takes possession of many, and grows inveterate
in their insane breast.
—Juvenal

| Happy Hiatus! |
| The time out is doing me wonders, and I am not yet inclined to emerge from my shell. I have edited another two chapters of the novel, and there is a rosy glow in my cheeks from the walking and fresh air I am getting. Last night I went to see the premiere of Sin City at Centro Cinema. It was a charity bash to raise funds for the cerebral palsy league and it was a lot of fun, doing the whole Hor's Douvres and champagne before the film, and then watching the film. It is a rather dark comedy, and somewhat surreal. Not my usual thing, but since it was in the name of a very good cause, I don't begrudge the evening. Some decisions have been reached about my life from here on out. I have many things to do, to write, and to say. It is time to refocus, regroup, and move on. "All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter into another!" Anatole France. |
