Title for Seventh Novel - Zlekwelrkjrlwer werlwekrjwelrkjwerlwekrwe rwelrkjwerlwkejrwlrjwerl

Made as 20 second joke about Search Engine Optimization and about how hard finding my novel Grenademan vs the Zombies is.

So of course that MUST be the actual title of my seventh (and possibly final) novel.

As a side note, Julia bit the bullet and is reading raw/only spell checked Heliotrope and likes it.

I mean...she is biased, but still.

Something.

[Heliotrope] The Null of Null Island

It is tempting to write nothing about Null Island.

Give in to temptation.

OK.

Dry spell

There will be the occasionally skipped week folks.  I'm in a period where writing of any kind is difficult but be assured I will almost always finish a project I start which means at least the current script and at least once a week updates for all the crap that needs to go into heliotrope, and mondays are just fun.

We'll see if I can start the research for the non fic book, maybe even this week.  September at the least.

[Poem] Whither the Wind Blows Not

Whither the Wind Blows Not
by Emmit Other

I am of a mind to sail against the current
The stars above me fixed 
In my gnat's view of time
Though swirling in chaos
Relative to themselves.

When a thing is right
You sail to that star
To be who you choose to be
Not because it is convenient
Not because it makes you popular
But because to do otherwise
Makes you less of what you choose to be in life
You are alone on this journey
Locked in your starmeat skull
Shared hearts, shared minds
At till the now, not shared thoughts
Save those pale words we jabber
With flapping jaws and unreliable imperfect ears
I remember standing on the mountain
Waving the flag of summons like the fool I was
Only to be justifiably ignored by thousands
I am not what I was
Naive in different ways
The past left by a much needed slap
By our lady of endearing pragmatism
Lead ingot dropped in silken glove
But in an upside down entropic world
We must fix on something
To find any degree of Truth worth finding
And I believe in it
And work for it
And thus sail counter to the waves
I know the folly
But I do so of choice
Of who I choose to be
Not of fear
But of love
And there can be no better reason for anything than this
This is why we live
If we choose to embrace it as such.
