Grand Canyon National Park
It’s been more than two months since my last post — an unintended break due to nothing but sheer laziness, concomitant with retirement: no deadlines!
But, actually, I do have a deadline. Nothing looming precipitously, but I have a biggie coming up in the fall: a joint project with a blogging pal about which you’ll hear more as the time draws near.
Revising Kenning Stars, the sequel to Kenning Magic, also took a break, but at last I’m back at it, with a June 30th deadline for this go-round.
Meanwhile, I need to get back into the posting habit, especially since I’ve been quite busy reading. Here’s a preview of what’s on the way:
- 3 YA novels by E Lockhart
- Fairacre, Thrush Green, Caxley village novels by ‘Miss Read’
- George Saunders’ Lincoln in the Bardo
- Thomas Love Peacock and Sylvia Townsend Warner
Let’s see how long this spurt of writing energy lasts!

Glad your mojo hasn’t taken a plunge into the canyon!

Thanks, Col. BTW, I went to see The Play that Goes Wrong in early May and was not disappointed, so thanks for the recommendation. Some great moments, and reminiscent of Noises Off!

Yes, especially the bit where they got caught in a loop and had to keep repeating lines. And the collapsing set: I saw that post as a potential problem early on, and nodded with satisfaction when the inevitable happened.

What amazes me is that actors don’t get killed during that show. Injured, they certainly do. In the performance we saw there was a splinter on the stage that took its toll during the dragging scene.

I wondered about that. The women looked “manhandled” as they were dragged through the window. That they could all stand for the final bow amazed me.

Ditto! And then to know it had to be done all over again … and again … and again …
That theatrical ‘break a leg’ when wishing luck is perhaps not suited to this show!

True, that.
