Chapter Four

It's taken me all summer, so far, but chapter four is finally finished. Rough rough draft, of course. (She said, hording excuses.) I have five chapters written now. (A later chapter, not yet numbered, I drafted for a writing class last winter.) A whole summer practically, but if anyone's kept up with this blog, the excuses are innumerable. Also, to get this chapter in shape, I read three books -- one a girl's diary of growing up in the 70s and two on abortion history. I also watched two documentaries on women's achievements in history. Four parts narrated by Donna Mills, that icon of women's intellectual, political and social progress. Inspiring. I've got a boat-load of people coming next weekend. My goal is to write chapter five this week. I will not be blogging, for sure.
