is reading The Complete Pelican Shakespeare: 2★ to The Life of King Henry the Fifth.
I just could not get into this one. I suppose it might have meant more had I brushed up on my English history, but as it was there was just nothing there to hold my interest, but for this one bit of discovery: I loved that Shakespeare did not translate any of the French dialogue (those who have read my book will know why this makes me happy) :) On to The Sonnets for June...

“I like what I do. Some writers have said in print that they hated writing and it was just a chore and a burden. I certainly don't feel that way about it. Sometimes it's difficult. You know, you always have this image of the perfect thing which you can never achieve, but which you never stop trying to achieve. But I think ... that's your signpost and your guide. You'll never get there, but without it you won't get anywhere.
