17 August 2022: In 1868 letter to her sister Anna, Louisa May Alcott wrote, “You ask what I am writing. Well, two books half done, nine stories simmering, and stacks of fairy stories moulding on the shelf. I can’t do much, as I have no time to get into a real good vortex" (59).
I think it is very meta that the only part of my Alcott entry that I had time to write today was the introduction, where I use this anecdote.
