That's Us. A Little Highbrow. A Little Mundane.
From The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield--there's a great description of a minor character (the doctor's wife) in the book. It goes like this (page 104):
"The doctor's wife wasn't a bad woman. She was sufficiently convinced of her own importance to believe that God actually did watch everything she did and listen to everything she said, and she was too taken up with rooting out the pride she was prone to feeling in her own holiness to notice any other failings she might have had. She was a do-gooder, which means that all the ill she did, she did without realizing it."

And now sitting on the sofa next to me, texting someone. ;)
I love, love, love that you are doing this. So brave and so ambitious. The one question you haven't answered is what you are going to do with the final product when it is done. Are you planning on submitting it for publishing or is this more of a personal achievement more than anything? Love to follow your experience. Maybe one day....
good luck!
You. Can. Do. It!
I hope it went well Stacy! I am rooting for you! :)
Did you have a productive weekend?!
I wrote a story that's been in my head for several years. I started with the intention of publishing and I think I'd still like to try but man oh man is it going to need some serious rewriting. That is daunting! But I know it can be done.
Jess, I don't remember. :P I think so?
