Secret Diary Club: The Kinder Egg Prediction
Plus a novel milestone and early thoughts on the authorship question
Welcome to the Secret Diary Club! This week’s three behind-the-scenes entries include:
from this week, a strange anti-climatic climax to a very long journey for the female pirate novel (if not yet the end of the story)
from last month, an amusing family moment demonstrating some metaphysical connectedness, and
from the archives, an entry from March 2007. I was in the first year of my PhD, still finding my feet in the Shakespeare authorship question, and about to embark on writing The Marlowe Papers. The person who wrote that entry is a very different person from the person writing this post.
