Writing, or some semblance thereof
Got a page in tonight on "The Sortilege of Objects Lost and Anointed in Tannin Water Depths." (I know, I know--daggum title's half the story.)

Tonight's breakthrough: The first-person narrator is a character named Feeling Kavanagh.  I had an inkling, but now I know it is he.  Feeling featured in "Verses on St. Andrews," a story printed in Issue 2 of the now-defunct (unfortunately) Spinning Whorl.  He also made it in my novelette "Neither Cast Your Pearls," which is sitting on an editor's desk, and he is reference briefly in a first-draft zombie story that has a lot of work ahead of it and me ("Master Slade and Bamboo").  I've got at least four more tales which will feature or cameo Feeling because he's central to the Fogle County and Urville southern magical realism stories percolating in this ol' heart and head.  And I'm beginning to realize, slowly, that he can be the common character thread to these stories that are alreadly linked via geography.  And Feeling's got plenty of fuel in him for me and the page.  We shall see.

Hey. I am. Don't you worry none.

Hope your day has ended better than it had been going from the tone of that one post of yours. With kids and what not, when it rains, pours, doesn't it?

Dude, most of the time I don't go into great detail about them. Today was par for the course.

Know whatchou mean. It's amazing what a five and three year olds can accomplished individually and severally, so to speak.

It's doing more than sitting there—bear with me a bit longer, mate.

Thanks, Darin. Perhaps I should've said, "In an editor's hands" then. At any rate, no rush. And from now through the summer, at least, nothing but Southern magical realism save one military science fiction novelette (containing a Southern character) to wrap up and that steampunk piece. And I can bear a long time so long as I've got other babies bein' birthed . . .
