still here
My internet tubes are currently blocked by the mud and muck of 60 mph winds. I am blessed to have power, but cursed to have no internets. It's a bit like hell, sans dancing ham(p)sters.
I'm a little surprised by how much I rely on a live internet connection to write. Word lookup, wikipedia searches, thesaurus checking, and all of the Dead Wicked content is wiki-driven.
Despite this, I wrote almost to the end of Chapter 2 in what I'm still calling Poison to the Dead.
And now, I must admit defeat: I'm giving up on Harp of the Grey Rose. I tried, but it seems that twenty years has not improved my ability to read books that do not interest me. C'est la vie. I shall perform pennance by finding something else by Charles de Lint that I do like and read that.
