From the rumors, you’d think most of the state was on fire at ( Read more... )

Went over to the gym and worked out for a while. In addition I walked over there rather than taking a bus, maybe a mile in total, maybe more. After the gym, I walked to the bus stop, maybe another half mile, caught the bus, and went home. It was very hot outside, as well.

What's been blocking me is the depressing awareness that at my age, the chances I'll be able to finish it are slim to none. Ignoring that and plowing ahead seems to be the key to continuing writing.

I'm very nearly done with all the useful parts of Club Vesta. I got the ladies to the exit from Club Vesta and outside this afternoon. Now it remains to do the polishing and selection for Club Vesta: The Collection, and to finish the very last of the last part, where they find Lu's husband and his new friend, a perfect partner for Eshda.

I combined all but Lessons II and III of my Qaballah and Tarot course in one document and uploaded it to the Scribd.com store.
