Time to give myself a deadline to complete my current novel.  What I'm writing now is what I call a 'frivolity' and weirdly I have found the frivolous nature of my writing to be an obstruction.  In the days and weeks ahead I'm hoping to chronicle my own coming unblocked.  Because that is what has happened.  Everything is suddenly clear:  what I must do to complete this project; what is next; how I'll progress; what went wrong.  I know my own experiences will be useful to those I coach.  But even more useful to me.  I'm excited.  This novel will be delivered by the summer.  Then I can progress to the work that excites me even more.  In the meantime, I'm going to have a lot of fun. 

I've been laughing out loud this evening at old pal David Nichol's novel Starter for Ten;I put it down for a while, though God knows why.  I rarely laugh out loud when I read.  This novel cracks me up.  What are the funniest novels you've read lately?
