A cold front has finally moved in, and it looks like the temperature won't break 80 degrees anytime soon. This being Texas, that could change, but for the time being I'm going to enjoy being able to wear long-sleeved shirts, running my Jeep's heater (not because I need the warmth, but so I know it works when regular cold weather sets in), and listening to appropriate music.
Speaking of music, it appears Agalloch is releasing a new record later this month. I try not to buy much of anything these days, but this is an album that I'll definitely have Sound Exchange set aside for me.
I think I've started another novel. I say that because, at its current 25 pages, this project is too long for a short story, and I have tons more ideas waiting to be put into words. Maybe it's a novella; I can't say for sure. The going is slow- I work on it maybe once or twice a week, and the page count rises much more slowly than it did compared to novels I wrote in the past- but steady. That steadiness is really the main factor that leads me to believe I've got a potential novel on my hands. Another feature of this particular work in progress is that it's clearly a first draft. In the past, I rarely wrote anything expecting to go back and edit the hell out of it. This beast is ripe for rewriting, although I am trying to polish it as I go along, as long as doing so doesn't bog down actual progress.
More later. Hopefully sooner-than-later later and not months-later later. Apologies, dear readers. I hope y'all are well, and here's wishing an intriguing, meaningful autumn to all y'all.
