Am working on a creative nonfiction piece apart from my book, sending more work out, looking to see if there is more writing lurking about that I can send out, and edging ever so slightly towards The End of my book. This book has taken a long time to edit and clean up--frankly, when I turned it in as my thesis, I got a skeleton crew of fairly unlinked vignettes together, got them in thesis form, and got it approved, as I very much wanted to graduate and had gotten what I'd gone to my alma mater to accomplish--getting off the starting line with The Strega's Story. Actually, the fun/challenging part was strengthening and creating the overarching frame.
For, faithful readers, work I must--it's getting to where I need to go to bed early and rise early, to paraphrase Ben Franklin, in order to get this book done by its deadline. I do intend to do some research and thinking, and writing, about the Asha Veil case. But frankly, this is a lull time, it seems, when people continue to speculate on what happened, and there are still no answers. McClish's sentencing is on August 3rd. If you are a local and plan to go, get to the County building early, as the courtroom is likely to be packed. I'll definitely be there.
And then, after that, who knows what will happen?
