Comments, please. It's going to be a long day.**

I slept too much last night. Possibly almost eight hours, but I'm not certain. It culminated in a long dream about working with Dame Darcy on a song based on "7/7/7." We were working out of ramshackle shotgun shacks in the

I love fictional language constructs and am always pleased to seem them included for authors works. The amount of time it takes to build that must be daunting though.

Same here.

I'm so excited to hear about the lexicon. Your work with two different sorts and story lines is pretty damn shiny, and it encouraged me to research the source mythos. Always a good thing, research.

I'm sorry to hear about New England not working out. My thin southern blood would never survive a winter up there. Again, thank you and Spooky for taking and posting photos. It's a part of the country I may never get to see in person, so I appreciate it.

Of course no one should presume to tell you what road to take in order to get to where you need to be; I can only say I hope it is found with a minimum of heartache, bloodshed, and duress.

I do wish that were an option. But, thank you.

I think the Siobhan books deserve the effort.

I wish I did. No, actually, I don't, as that would only lead me to question my perspective, and to my devaluing my serious efforts.

The cold, though, would be a permanent adversary for me too.

Maybe it's just something, like mental illness, that I'm going to have to lock horns with for the remainder of my life.

As solstice_lilac said, some of your recent work seems needed to be based from Rhode Island, from New England. (One wonders what you would have written elsewhere? that alternate world booklist...)

I've been to Florida Gulf beaches. Flat hot sand and smooth bathtub-warm water, so very different from northern beaches, and very appealing to many. It doesn't appeal to me overall, but I'll admit there's moments, lying there, when the sun beats down on you and through you and it feels as though all the impurities are purged away in the heat and the sand turned to glass beneath you.
