As Far As You Know

I have another paper due for my Yale course today, so I spent a couple hours this morning banging out a few pages of critical analysis of Hamlet. (It was a bit tough to get going this morning, since I got back from the city so late last night.) This is the seventh such essay I've written in the last four weeks, so my word-smithing muscles are getting worked back into shape. Writing is like riding a bike, in that you never fully lose your facility in composing prose, but I can sure do it more effectively and more quickly after being back in the habit of regular writing for several weeks now.
