Well, it's been a long, intense weekend. I re-read The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, translated from the French by Richard Howard. I love the author's name. I have no idea how to pronounce it, but it looks great. Very deep. It reminded me that good writing could be simple and still wonderful. And my favorite quote, of course, is this:

"Why do you speak in riddles?"
"I solve them all," said the snake.
And they were both silent.

I got a total of six chapters and two halves written this weekend. That doesn't add up to seven chapters because the two halves are not for the same chapter. It's two first-halves. I think I have to go to bed now, though. I'm pretty well exhausted.
