AIN'T IT THE TRUTH, THOUGH!

"A man is a very small thing, and the night is very large and full of wonders. "-
Lord Dunsany

A QUIET SUNDAY IS A GOOD SUNDAY.

A quiet day. It was rainy and a little windy in the morning but
it had died down to occasional showers by the time the Pats
game was over and I went to the laundromat.

Other than that, I did some research for my next genealogy
blog post and later read some Lord Dunsany on Googlebooks,
"The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories". Very Victorian
prose but man. he's one of my favorites.

So I've just finished putting away the last of the clothes and
now off I go to the beddery.

CHILLING IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE

By which I mean that not only am I hanging around my kb
on a Friday night, I am also pondering how warm my bed
will be when I head there. The temp has gone from near 80F
on Wednesday into the 40's tonight.


No Cams writing today but I got out another genealogy post.
While the Muse is back in service I need a shot of Sense of
Wonder, I think. Which means I need to read one of the
books that made me want to write myself. Morris, Dunsany,
Norton, anyone with that talent that made their heroes and
worlds seem so real when you read about them. I need that
inspiration so I can get back to stories about The Wyld, or the
Green Silences, or the Bardic Academy. I've got a few ideas.
We'll see where they go.

ANOTHER DAY OVER....

Had a semi-productive day today. I got a fairly long chapter
of the new "Shadow's Touch" series written and posted. I
also posted twice to the genealogy blog, once about the
poor census worker murdered in Kentucky and the other
the latest installment of a series I've been posting about
some of my ancestors battling over a family inheritance.

Before that I slept in very late. This would never have happened
5 or 6 years ago. Most of my life I've been getting up for work
anywhere from 5:30am to 7am depending on the job at the
time. Even on my days off I was usually up by 9 even if it was
just to read a book or maybe to go out someplace, maybe take some
pictures. Now I sleep in sometimes, like today, past noon.

Most be an old fart thing or something.

Speaking of which, I'm sleepy. Good night.

"IT'S QUARTER PAST 2, THERE'S NO ONE IN THE PLACE, EXCEPT ME & YOU..."

...or words to that effect.

Don't know what's gotten into me lately. The Muse
seems to have suddenly decided to kick in. I started
a new series with a sl for Cams last week and should
have part 3 done tomorrow. I also have been thinking
of approaching the E and the Frog Princess about writing
an ending to the "Alphabet Blocks Killer" series. I
can't recall what we called it at the time.But I came
up with a way to explain what happened to the killer
and where he got off to and leave it so he's available
if E wants to use him again in the future.

I'm also kicking around the "Riverstone: series and of
course the "The Wyld" and "Undercurrents".

We'll see if the Muses hold up and let's me turn all
that out.

But right now, bed.

SO WHERE WAS I?

I was offline for nearly three weeks is where I was. Long story.
Suffice it to say my brother moved out, I opened a new phone
account back under my own name and then signed up for 3
free months of AOL for the time being. I can't afford the cost
of broadband right now so I'm back to dialup. But it's better
than nothing, right? Besides, most of my computer use does
not require being able to view video clips, so I'm happy for the
time being.

This now means I get access to the computer earlier and more
often than I had for the past year and a half do that's good. And
I've written and posted the first story in months from me to the
Cams list. So between that and genealogy I should have enough
to keep me iccupied around here.

Back to writing...
