Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Oh, good. It can distract while I'm too busy to finish the new one.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Grrrr.

I am reading "The Golden Bough," by Sir James Frazier. Good gosh, there's just oodles of ideas for scenes of magic and myth and Slayer/Watchery things in this book. I think I've found the source of the plots of about five fantasy novels so far.

Sorry, but there are no words for how exhausted I've been lately. Trust me, it'll all be better if I'm awake when I write it. (:

I read that in colelge. Well, read through it. And you're right, there's tons in there. It really should be essential reading for anyone writing fantasy fiction.

My bad, Victor, since I've gotten a sense of how hard you work, and totally understand how draining it can be. That was just a knee jerk Grrr.

No worries. I started in on part two when I was on Day Two of the insomnia, and man, that sucked ass. No, I mean really. Not just unpublishable, it was unbearable. Got sleep last night, but am at work now, and need to be at the in-laws' at 10 a.m. So writing is unlikely.

Ah, insomnia AND too much work. That makes life even more fun, doesn't it?

I need to replace my old copy of TGB.

Hmm. And perhaps reclaim my Irish Folk Tales book from my SiL.
