This is the beginning of my NaNo novel, YGB. (I’ve changed the title many times already…)

It is a murder mystery, but is far less bleak than what I wrote last year.

CHAPTER ONE

Madeleine knew that what she saw was a corpse.

So it’s official; I’ve been posted on the American apologies site, page 245.

A couple quick words on this picture, lest you think I chose it as an arbitrary image of desolation or worse, dragged it off the internet somewhere.

I WANTED TO BE WRONG

You know where I come from. You know what I feel

You’re Yul Brenner Westworld Reporting from the field.

I threw it into reverse, made a motion to repeal.

You kicked my legs from under me, and tried to take the wheel.

One compromise we should not brook.

One compromises, all the time…

I had such hopes for Monday. I was going to work on my NaNo novel, do the laundry, clean, restart (for the 11th time) my Bible studies, read for Euphemism.

As for conservative America… that’s my next dose of vitrol…

I notice that in many of my posts this past month, I’ve heaped more criticism on liberals than conservatives. Most of this boils down to my understanding of my audience… there are plenty of liberal and conservative blogs out there that lambast the other side, and none of them accomplish much.

As soon as Blogger publishes my updates today, you may (or may not) notice some significant changes.

1. I’ve added links to two blogs, both belonging to close friends:

THIRD RAIL THEMES

This blog is maintained by Gemma, and while she’s just started it, it looks like she’ll be bringing her artistic experiences to bear on both her personal experiences and the world at large.

I should have guessed who would win the election.

And I don’t want to be rational right now, and I don’t want to be quiet or composed or even reasonable.

Of course, how honest can we be without costing ourselves?

Gothic Funk #1 was a moderate success.

15 people attended… somewhat less than anticipated, but most of them stayed for around five hours.

In addition to deep gothic funk beats and deep gothic funk projections, we indulged in deep gothic funk impersonations and ultimately devolved into werewolves, et al.

Several long posts ahead, but I’ll try to keep them interesting.

Also: keep in mind I’m not the only one posting here right now. If you see EVENT: GEMMA, WOLFBARONXYLO, SKYBALLS, or ELISABETH, then someone else is posting…

MUG SHOTS

I know I said I’d post last night, but my phone was disconnected, barringinternet access.
