Malini in Whirlwood is complete, at 58,842 words. Divided by 40 years= 1471.05 words a year = 4 words a day. The number of words will change, but
not much. Yesterday I gave all but 3 chapters to Amiya, my grandniece, to read. I was
hoping to have completed it before I left BP yesterday but couldn’t since I
came here to Chandigarh for Rakhi. I slept most of the way down, much of the
afternoon, and six hours at night though I fell asleep around 5 for another
couple of hours. I have stayed indoors all day with the curtains drawn in a
dark room. Had a non-morning, eating too much, then after lunch meditated – ah,
I will never abandon it now! – and plugged myself in. I
have many little revisions to make, touch up, as it were. Tomorrow morning I’ll
go over the last three chapters, print them, and give them to Amiya. I have to
read the script one more time with the ending in mind, and then I will let it
sit some more before sending it off.
Meditation
is the key to my digestive health. I can do it anytime of the day, under any
circumstances.
Now,
to return to Book 2 of the Sikh Saga and complete it by the end of September.
Had some wonderful ideas for the ending. Only the execution remains. So, I will
have, God Willing, arrived at the end of my goal for this year.
P
and I at loggerheads before I left. He’s working hard, too, painting up a
storm. When we are both tired from working too hard, we do not get along. He
gets impatient and snappy, and I can’t handle it. Days in BP so lovely I can’t
wait to return. But I go to the dentist’s for a new crown, the old one having
broken off, and won’t be able to leave before Thursday or Friday.
