Sep. 24th, 2012 12:37 pmIt was a good weekend.
I made a strategic decision to not run away and hide after Meeting for Worship, and went downstairs to join people for potluck, and ended up talking for more than an hour with some pretty awesome women.
I am one scene away from having a functional first draft of my novel.
The Labor Day Breakfast is OVER and I do not have to stress about it, hopefully ever again, but at the very least until next summer.
On Saturday, I had a major breakthrough on the psychological front. It kind of hit me all at once -- I was swimming at the community center, and all of a sudden the solution was just there, and it made such obvious sense that I feel kind of stupid for not putting it together for seventeen years. I had to stop swimming and hold on to the side and just watch the solution unfolding in my head. The woman sharing my lane thought I was having a stroke! And now I feel immeasurably better for finally having gotten all that sorted out, and fear is gone. Wow.
And I went to the National Book Festival yesterday, and heard Congressman John Lewis speak about raising chickens and raising hell through nonviolence, and he is pretty fucking amazing.
A good weekend.
