No elves sighted, Progress Elsewhere

Fab progress made on the synopsis for The Rake. I've been having it read back to me. Very valuable. I'm this close to have a completed draft that doesn't totally suck. Tomorrow I meet with my prof about the chapters of which I now have no recollection. Sometime between now and the 31st I have to do some adjusting of the chapters. Fortunately, this weekend, my son doesn't have any soccer so I am going to be a bad mom. . .

For school, I'm reading Faulkner's Absolom! Absolom! Wow. Great book. The first Faulkner I ever picked up was the Sound and the Fury. I was I think sixteen or something and I thought he must have written that book in a blind raging drunk and sent it to an equally drunk editor. There was a kid in it, see, and everything just seemed so darn angry. Maybe someday I'll read it again and see what an idiot 16 yo I was.

Went to the gym - read Faulkner. No elf.
