Commune of Women is a novel about six women, trapped together in a small room, who must use their slender resources to survive and prevail by sharing everything: their hope and fear; their food; and their life stories, which grow deeper, darker and more intimate as the days pass.

Quote of the Day
Who's not sat tense before his own heart's curtain?
--Rainer Maria Rilke
Yesterday, I finished the 4 pages I'm requiring of myself, each day. Which puts me up to page 712 of Fiesta of Smoke. Slowly but surely, I've built a plot that seems, at this point, a lot like these Jackson Pollock-esque branches -- a big tangle. I know where the trunk and root of each branch ends, though, so it's just a matter of getting there. Excelsior!
Blessings and strength to all who are awaiting the parting of the heart's curtain.
