saturday night live

At 11.55 PM I am in just under the wire for making my daily deadline.

An ambitious project, said a friend when I told him I was going to keep a daily journal for a whole year. But I have some experience, and am daily inspired by the greatest diarist of them all, Samuel Pepys, who kept a daily diary for almost 10 years and maintained an incomparably high standard of writing throughout.

Today has been exactly the stress free day to kick back and indulge myself that I needed so badly. I finished the first draft of my new story today. Within a fortnight I will have completed the revision process. I feel good about it; whether anyone else will is another story.

This evening, sharing a bottle of Alain Navarre rose champagne with 2 of our oldest and dearest friends- a delightful little soiree.

I find I posted my original blog just after midnight. Please forgive my laxness. I'm sure Pepys would.
