And mine. Ruth has New-Slain Knight on her desk.
So mote it be.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Deb, I think writing the Kincaids has been prep work for leaving the shadows. You've processed things you might not have otherwise. Plus, research!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Gods, yes, at least on the processing part. Weirdly, I think the essay I did for the Seal press anthology - Truth, in the Middle - is the real step out of the shadows moment. I don't name names, and I don't need to, but it's all there, all the processing through writing the Kinkaids.
Speaking of which, back to work. I'm up near 81K, about three-quarters of a chapter plus an epilogue with a fairly high HSQ moment for JP, away from finishing Cleveland Rocks.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Okay, after a fierce, drawn-out battle I have lost the high ground and am not avoiding the obvious pun about leaving a new-slain knight lying about on someone's desk. Ew, leaky.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ew, leaky.
Depends on how you slew him. Unless, of course, you're referring to all the sphincters releasing upon death, in which case: most probably.

Dudes, he's in full armour. Not a problem.
We got John McFee's answering machine. Michelle left him a detailed message ("shit, are the Doobies on the road AGAIN? Where are you?!? Pick up!" and then the explanation).
Also, my invisibility is about to go byebye, because I've just been coopted to working on some sort of memorial gig with the old Family Dog and several Grateful Dead management people.
Ah well. It's been a long spell of "Who? No, sorry, you must have the wrong person, I don't know what you're talking about, go away at once."
Need to know about the piano. Am VERY tempted to go downtown and let juliana make me many bellinis.
And jeepers, just saw the news about JZ. Breathing in relief that she's ok.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
let juliana make me many bellinis.
The offer is still good for tomorrow.

I was inspired, among the Wire Spoilers by this quote. Also amused. First because I would honestly have picked this literary "spouse" to be the unlikeliest evoker of a Supreme Being, evah, and then because it makes me picture Anne Rice as God, Jackie Collins as God, etc.

Not really a beta issue, but a formatting one. I'm doing my new stationary, and should my address be "1st Floor" or "First Floor"? Generally, you write out numbers from one to ten, but I don't know if that applies here. thoughts?
