"Don't you have someone you'd die for?"

Here in Providence, it's a balmy 22˚F, but that's okay, because the windchill is 18˚F. I won't have to worry about heat prostration this afternoon. Unless it's the sort of heat I feel when I'm months behind on finishing a novel. And stuck. Anyway, here is the white desolation of the Armory, as of sunset yesterday. It looks a lot like the inside of ( Read more... )

I seem to have a Yearly Root Canal with complications, so I am waiting for this years tooth to make itself known. Or I have run out of teeth for that to happen with, and will find out what replaces that.

Wishing you success with the whole plot thing. You definitely have people who believe in your ability to conquer the beast.

I wish knowing that gave me more courage when entering the demon's lair.

I'm having a hate-my-decaying body day. I detailed it in my own journal entry today, so I won't take up the same space here on it. But part of that is dental issues, mostly caused by stress, they say. I have this reoccurring abscess with its floating moons of canker sores. They dig into the abscess and find nothing causing it, hence the 'it's stress' diagnosis. They give me antibiotics. Everything subsides and then it reappears. The problem this time is that a) I have no money for the dentist -- still owing from the last go 'round -- and this time the pain is deep in my jaw, which the nurse told me this morning might indicate a far deeper and scarier problem.

I wear as little as I can get away with. I can';t stand being bundled, plus it's my way of giving the season the middle finger.

Have we seen the full cabinet of curiosities before?

Probably not.

Yesterday, a copy of Alabaster: Pale Horse reached me.
Noice. Greg Ruth's artwork just rocks.

Sorry to hear of your tooth. Having a crowded mouth myself, they are the bane of my existence.

I hope your persistence will soon hammer and anvil the novel into shape.

Ye Olde Cabinet of Curiosities reminds me of a Dire Wolf exhibit at a museum at the La Brea Tar Pits.
