My little girl turned four and I turned all my attention to her. Getting a bit behind with the writing, but I figure she deserves my all just now.Pink frou frou, chocolate cake and a party in the garden complete with mini trampoline, teepee and bubbles. We even played 'Pass the parcel,' a favorite game of mine from childhood. Earlier, my son (6) documented her dance/gym class by drawing each new segment and labeling it. Just adorable-- maybe he will become a documentary film maker. I made a book of it with him, and he shared it with everyone and read it maybe 20 times -- his first published book! His excitement reminds me I'm not so crazy to feel that way myself about wanting to share my work (though I'm not sure I can ever produce anything so sweet, nor so simply clear -- a good lesson).
Finished Atwood's "Surfacing" -- I don't remember any of it from 20 years ago, but loved it -- she's so willing to blast ahead and look out! Now reading"Fierce Attachments" -- Vivian Gornick. All inspirational stuff.
Not writing for a couple of days makes me happily desperate to get back to it...
