Greg had to shift our work tomorrow to next Friday. \u00a0This morning I plowed through 7 verses in 40 minutes. \u00a0That’s getting closer to the pace I want. \u00a013-16 a day. \u00a0In fact, with that pace, two sessions the same day would get me there.<\/p>\n
This is all chaff. \u00a0I know that. \u00a0Who cares whether an amateur succeeds in making what will probably be a poor translation of the Metamorphoses? Nobody. I care. And that’s what matters to me, but I’m not ignorant of the global insignificance of this work.<\/p>\n
Same with the novel. \u00a0Suppose it sells, does well. \u00a0More chaff. \u00a0If it doesn’t. \u00a0Chaff. Working on climate change. \u00a0Closer to wheat, less chaff. \u00a0Still, my single contribution? \u00a0Mostly chaff.<\/p>\n
Why keep at any of this? \u00a0Because it is what I’ve chosen to define my ancientrail. \u00a0I don’t believe any of us have another path open to us. \u00a0It’s either choose or have it chosen for you.<\/p>\n
