Well, the “Is Epic Fantasy Misogynist?”<\/em><\/a> 3-parter took a bit of effort, but in fact I only put that together in the late evenings after my working day on the Great Revision (aka the GR) was done. I had a bit of a slow start on the GR this week because of a special visitor who had come a ‘fur piece’ (to quote Faulkner) and therefore merited a modicum of hostly courtesy. (Possibly a misguided ethic on my part but one I don’t plan to abandon anytime soon, the laws of hospitality having contributed—in my view—to holding humanity to the ‘humane’ part of that word for several odd millenia now.)<\/p>\n

But once I waved my visitor good-bye early in the week it was all on for the GR. The beginning was slow because I was getting into a new section and had to kind of ‘feel’ my way forward waiting for the lights to come on, but they have now come on with a vengeance and things are rocking along. I do so<\/em> love it when that happens.<\/p>\n

And that’s pretty much me for the week: the GR; the epic fantasy posts; a Tuesday Poem<\/a>: Yeats’ The Lake Isle at Innisfree<\/em>, being my Mum’s favourite—because it was Mother’s day last Sunday, of course.<\/p>\n

I did reprise the post about Morning Pages—as part of my revision (and general writing) process—on Monday<\/a> as well. And I have to say, the pages have really helped me stay on the straight and narrow this week: waking up every morning and having the pages to work out\/reveal to me: “yup, this is how the revising needs to go today.”\u00a0 And then I go to the computer and ‘make it so.’\u00a0 D’you know what else—da pages are never<\/em> wrong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
