Pet Projects
No one can accuse me of being lazy, though I may have a slow start some mornings...
Atonement has stirred the urge to start writing again. Since finishing that book I've been devouring about one novel every 2-3 days, in addition to the usual load of work. This is only fanning the fire. Words seem to fail me most of the time, so this summer I may be pursuing a graphic novel. I can't think of a better way to chronicle the events of 2000 and 2001 than to mask the characters behind a few carefully chosen lines and graphic pen strokes. Last summer I "designed" a play a week in my evening hours at American Players Theatre. This summer we'll see if I can't churn out a chapter in the same amount of time. And it'll be a good excuse to focus on drawing faces instead of clothes for a change.
On the side, no one in the family has heard from my brother in quite a while. With his 21st come and gone and another potential deployment in April, I wonder if he's avoiding us, or seeking solitude.

Well, Dad said he talked to the boy, but I haven't heard a peep...
I've wanted to instite a reading a play a week policy, but I haven't started yet since I'm about to take off for Mississippi, and I'll of course have to start with Nicki's plays she's sent me when I get the funds to print them off at the library.
-I'll say a prayer for your brother as I have been doing the same for Brent's.
