Silence

I began this blog with one goal in mind: to write every day. Thanks to this blog I reached my goal of completing a novel: Novelty Yarn is a collection of short stories whose central theme is knitting. Now I have once again set out to complete a novel. This time the novel I am writing is more traditional: one story. Short stories are manageable they do require some commitment of time but nothing compared to that required by a novel. It’s much like the difference between knitting a hat and knitting a sweater. So even though I haven’t been writing to you – I have been writing daily (at least). I am pleased to report that I am more than half way towards reaching my goal of 100 pages. Could it be possible that I will reach my goal? I will keep you posted. Your positive thoughts are appreciated – as usual. “What about knitting?” you ask. After all, this is a knitting blog. Well, I am now working on the front of my neighbour’s vest. I am also working on a few other surprises. …but to be honest most of my day is devoted to writing the novel.
