The Edge of Nowhere

Stunning morning here on the edge of nowhere. Ice blue cloudless sky, very mild temps, plenty of early morning sunshine casting deep high-relief shadows on the snow covered peaks to the west. Amber fields of corn have been reduced mostly to stubble now and little puffs of steam were rising from the Kodak plant down in the river valley before the purple mountains majesty as I drove to work. What a swell day. Plus: it's Friday.

So it's been a good week on the writing front: worked on paper on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, working through eight or nine chapters and made edits/changes on the computer on Tuesday, Wednesday and this morning (I took yesterday morning off to finish prepping for an internal job interview, and took last night off to enjoy the film Garden State). So: Three chapters finished; 47 to go.

I know, I know, it feels silly reporting this like this, but it's an accountability trick I'm going to try this time since my other practices and habits over the past 20 years have failed to result in a published book. So onward! Shut up and write!
