This week (and perhaps next week), I won’t be posting many pieces on the blog. All of my writing energy will be spent on Maya and the Book of Everything as I work on the final editing. How exciting it all is, but I must admit I’m also a bundle of nerves. However, as I mentioned in reply to one of the comments about Maya, I’ve been working toward this for a very long time.
With all the work on Maya, there will be no homemade bread (to my husband’s dismay). It will be an English muffin kind of week. Meals will be very simple. Only the minimum housework will be done to keep the house clean.
Onward, onward!

Onward and upward, Laurie. Keep writing.
Thanks, Cynthia.
Thank you for sharing the excitement – and for the gorgeous picture.
Thanks, Cheryl.
Do well, Laurie
Thanks, Derrick.
It is like birthing a baby. Lots of excitement, lots of work, and some pain but so worth it in the end. I will be thinking of you and sending positive thoughts.
Beth, you got that right! Thanks for the positive thoughts. I need all I can get 😉
Busy, busy! The dark pink cosmos and silver artemisia make a beautiful pair!
Thanks, Eliza. I’m hoping to be able to use that picture for a card to sell at the library.
It’s a beauty!
Thanks, Eliza!
Love the picture- the colours and the contrasting and rich textures. I imagine that completing this long term project (your book) will be gratifying indeed!
Yes, very gratifying. A long time coming.
