Things have slowed down a bit. But have bought necessary ink and finished blocks. Only need to get going with putting some ink on paper now!
Oh: one reason for the slowing was my reception of the letter anouncing that I am accepted into the Artists Social Fund (Künstlersozialkasse) which is there to lower the health care costs of artists, publishers and musicians (also translators of literature, by the way). Oh and it provides a special, I guess smallish, artist pension as well. So January will be the first month - unemployment benefits in all my time in Germany. yeeeeehaw!!
