I?m reading Fatherless Women by Clea Simon. She lost her father in
her thirties, I believe. There is one chapter about death of a father
when one is younger in life. I identify so much with this and all the
fallout as a result is familiar. The feeling of disconnectedness, for
example. I experienced at 12 what she experienced in her thirties.
I?m also reading A Prison Diary, by Jeffrey Archer. He was imprisoned
in a maximum security prison in England. He describes the 22 days
there in detail, including the language, the food, the other inmates and
what goes on.
I had 4 submissions this week, and 2 queries. So I feel satisfied that
things are better, even though I have not written much new stuff.
There is always a market for the reprints.
