"Naturally, we never succeed, but it's the pursuit that's meaningful."
Most of the day was mostly sunny, a little overcast now, but no rain in the forecast. Our high was 68F.
A flurry of work on Bright Dead Star today. Honestly, I think this manuscript is damned and determuined never, ever to be completed. It's beginning to remind me of how obsessively I edited and reedited and re-reedited The Dry Salvages in the summer (I think it was the summer) of 2003. Bill finally had to tell me to stop. I have to make an end to it all by Monday at the lastest. Today, just as I thought I had a handle on whatever nitpicky crap was left to be done, I realized I'd not written story notes for two of the pieces. So, I'll do that tomorrow. And there's still some persistant wonkiness in the introduction. But! There are no more sticky notes!
The afternoon's film was Tarantino's Once Upon a Time Ago...in Hollywood (2019).
Business at the Dreaming Squid Sundries shop has been brisk, for which we are grateful. Please, visit and peruse the merch, books by me, tie dye by Spooky (Kathryn).
I leave you with a picture of the Platypus, Herr Schnabeltier, marvel of evolution. He's had a rough few days.
Later Tater Beans,
