August 1 Check In

Anyway. This is a quick checkin.

I'm still on hiatus. It's August 1, and I'm happy to report that I've written 209 pages this summer. Two hundred nine. That's a fuck-load of writing for me, but I'm happy that I'm getting it done.

Anyway. Just wanted to say hello to y'all. I am still planning to be back around September 1. And I'm sure I'll have plenty to say. ;-)

Love,

Lorraine

Some photos of the place I keep going to in the Adirondacks to write. Friends own an island in one of the lakes: the screen shot is my view from where i sit with my computer.

And a bit of whimsy from one of the local cemeteries. (Yes. I'm still obsessed with graveyards.)

Words to live by

"The church of this country is not only indifferent to the wrongs of the slave, it actually takes sides with the oppressors.... For my part, I would say, welcome infidelity! Welcome atheism! Welcome anything! in preference to the gospel, as preached by these Divines! They convert the very name of religion into an engine of tyranny and barbarous cruelty, and serve to confirm more infidels, in this age, than all the infidel writings of Thomas Paine, Voltaire, and Bolingbroke put together have done!"

— -- Frederick Douglass, "The Meaning of July Fourth for the Negro"
