Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Still haven't gotten into the daily songwriting routine. Or at all, really.
The conversation here did lead me to realize that where I am on the continuum is at the ritual by fucking around point. Jamming around deliberately and on schedule is new for me. I'll worry about ritual by method and education later.
I bet they put Keith Moon there on purpose. Conspiracy, I tell ya.

Thanks Beverly! I think I've got a good writerly buzz goin' on in 2003. Hard to explain.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Go, team Jen!
Liese, the entire Band, with entourage, had one floor, and Potus and entourage had the one above. I first twigged there might be a wee problemo when I spotted the Large, Suited Men with Big Heavy Shoes in the lift.
Then there was the Incident in the basement. Covered up my piano player, yelling "firefight! down!" on the floor of the limo.
Life was more interesting then.

It's always the shoes.

If I only had a brain...
I thought the haircuts were also a big ol' giveaway?

They were large men who were so obviously designed to be invisible that in San Francisco, they might as well have been wearing marge Simpson wigs with tiaras spelling out "SECRET SERVICE" in flashing rhinestones.
Haircuts, pale colourless suits, shoes, muscles, eyes looking everywhere and never locking, bulge under arms...
Gah.

And we will call it... "This Land."
re: online crit groups
Got to shout out to my critters at the Other Worlds Writer's Workshop (Yeah, OWWW. It hurts sometimes). It's science fiction and fantasy, though, not mainstream fic. There's also a fantasy/scifi romance group that spun off recently.
Both small groups with required crits/month to keep things moving, both moderated. In case anybody's interested.
