"i only speak the truth"
There are two kinds of people in the world: People who loved Moulin Rouge and people who hated it. Count me in the "loved it" camp.
But that is not what this entry is about. The ultrarough version of Chapter Ten is done! One more chapter to go until Defiance, one chapter in the city, and then three chapters to the first oasis. There are a few things I just realized I may not include that were always in the original version of the story. A whole gypsy scene that, now that I ponder it, may not be as cool as I used to think.
Everyone in my book is exhausted, and so am I. My skin is awfully dry from the winter weather, so me and a bottle of almond oil are going to go upstairs and soak in a hot bath.
Tomorrow: market, bokken/bokuto class, and much cooking. Possibly another chapter. Things are picking up. I'm actually on top of quite a few other items as well...very proud of myself right now. The consequence, no doubt, of putting a moratorium on travel for a few months, and coming to grips with the whole house break-in thang....
