End stretch

I’m pressing onward to finish  Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, A Friendship That Changed the World. My editor is waiting. Spring break is over, back to teaching 3 classes at Queens next week, plus a author visit at a school on Friday, etc. Yikes! I’m close, but I think torn between the pressure of needing to get to the end of their friendship and not wanting to have them die! My music for this end stretch is Beethoven’s piano concertos–over and over they play. Right now I’m struggling with a section I wrote last night & realllllly like, but in the light of day I think it slows down the narrative—plus I can’t go forward & that always means I have to unravel until I can.
