I did it. I think
I finished the John Brown terrorism story and I submitted it. What;s really exciting is that the nice fellow, who frankly doesn't like much of what I write, did like it.
Now, I wait.
No, I don't. I finish Afterwar and the little romance short thing, and I consider whether I want to write a romance involving Forager Girl, a ghost, and some guy (Chain's taken: Forager Girl needs a lover just like him, but the last time I saw who she was with, in the middle of The Conduit, she was hanging with some nasty yuppie sort of guy and really intimidated by him. It must be bad for her art, right? Because she's a pretty unconventional girl, and the guy is pretty conventional).
The ghost I'm not sure of. I'm drawn to something that comes from the labor history of California, but it's pretty nebulous right now.
Forager Girl's given name is Jill Ann, I remember that.

I do know that Some Guy is a psychic, and that they meet in the cafe of the San Jose Modern Art Museum. And I know how they meet: he's at one end, she's at the other, and she hears him talking to her, very low: he's warning her about the yuppie sort of guy and also maybe the ghost, having had a premonition which is a little ambiguous. He's too far away for her to have heard him speaking so softly -- but that's because he didn't speak, he projected his worries, not bothering not to try because normally people can't pick this kind of thing up. So she's a little more sensitive than usually people are, and that's why, later, she begins to channel this ghost as she paints.
No, the yuppie sort of guy is not a serial criminal, and the ghost is not his vitim. But I don't know more than that yet.
