The first page of this novel I piddle with now and then was on the short list for a "first page" contest.  Inspired me to spend some more time on it.

I thought I know the plot but nah; the MC is telling me and I'm just writing it down.  Am about 58 pages into it.  Clinging to some pages I wrote previously even though I'm sure none of them will fit into what the MC's tale truly is.

The plan (can we laugh here 'cause, well, me and my plans!) is to write on it every day in the new year/decade. 

The plan, the plan. . .

Oh is there a deadline today?

I will NEVER learn but my play about Diane Nash--DUE 12/31-- is almost there.

What to focus on was a challenge because she was so active in the Civil Rights movement and did so much.  Much too late I made the decision what the play would be about.  And then there's the part where Gwen wants the pressure to push her to get the best work.

Anyway there is opportunity for revision (yes I might take it) but there is also the opportunity to "sneak" one's play in tomorrow.  (yes, I'm gonna take that option!)

I hope I do her justice.
