I've been a busy little beaver. I began the new book, which should have been easier that it was but wasn't due to my senility. As I mentioned, I'd written a rough up of the first two paragraphs. But I'd done that twice, actually - once about three months ago, and then I redid it about three weeks ago. Unfortunately I left the original pass of it and I mistakenly began with that and couldn't understand why I was having to fix almost every word of it. When I finally got to what was paragraph three on the notes page, I realized THAT was the real paragraph one. So, I nuked what I'd done, save for one good line, and then started again - this time the first two paragraphs were much easier and it flowed from there, albeit slowly. But I kept at it and thus far I've written just under ten pages, which is as good a first day's writing in terms of page count as I've ever done, and I'm quite sure I'll do another couple of pages when I get home later because I left off in the middle of a thought. So far, I'm having a really good time.
