Buzzing distractions once again. And it’s gone back to cold, which tends to make me pensive.
I did have a lovely Monday shopping trip with Lolita, after an initial communication breakdown. Twitter saved us from missing each other entirely.
I’ve been making my way through Thomas Mallon’s A Book of One’s Own, which offers the pleasures of Mallon’s commentary alongside a choice selection of morsels from dozens of diaries. Over and over again it gives me good reasons for writing here, even as I’ve been neglecting it. I wish I could say that it was because I was doing all this other writing some where else, but the truth is that my output is all of a bundle: either I’m in making mode or I’m shut down utterly.
This is as close as I’m going to come to a New Year’s resolution: Going forward, I’d like a steadier, more sustained (and sustaining) flow.
Now I’m off to the second of two unexpected meetings of the day.
