The tide flows in and the tide flows out, twice every day returning

I do not like to talk about stories while I am working on them or before they have been accepted, but I have completed my first piece of original fiction since the fall of 2015 and I think this is a good thing. A comment

ashlyme left was the inspiration; at least I feel it bears the signs of recent exposure to Sapphire & Steel. If I can place it, I'll say more. I am still not doing so great, but I feel it is important to record this sort of thing when it happens. Autolycus, purring at Cape Canaveral volume and trampling on the keys as I type, feels it is important to pay attention to the cat.

Yes, you may be hanging on by threads, but please, let us not forget duty to cat?

Actually, cats are marvelous threads and life preservers--we can both attest to that.

Big congratulations about the story! I very deeply hope it gets accepted somewhere, as your stories always make a big impression on me, and I'd like to read another.

And I do hope things do get better. I didn't say so last entry, just raved about the music instead, but I hope this patch of exceptionally vicious insomnia goes away. And, well... I wish real life didn't keep supplying such horrors, of course.

(I typed that as cation first.)

They are. I am glad of all of ours.

Thank you! I want to be able to share it with people. I've sent it to a market and am hoping.

By the way, about two years ago, you sent me a written interview around Ghost Signs that I never actually sent back to you because everything became terrible forever. Would you still like me to try to answer the questions?

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Seriously. Enough already.

I'd love to do the interview--by all means yes, send answers on back!

Cool! I will try to do within the next couple of days, then. Man, I have to sleep.
