Against all odds (as far as I’m concerned), I’ve hit the 50 hour mark in the 100 hours project. I genuinely figured I’d crap out in the first twenty hours or so & have been baffled by peoples’ supportive conviction that I would, although my friend Kate pointed out people are REALLY ACCUSTOMED to seeing me finish creative projects, which, true! But those are BOOKS! I start & fail OTHER creative projects in public all the time! I tell you what, though, I like this so much more than knitting.…
