Weather appears to have temporarily settled down for a spell of OH MY GOD THE DAYSTAR, so Muse decided this was a fine opportunity to make me go outside and take care of a bit of research that I've been putting off for a while now because every other time I've thought of it it's been raining. This almost turned out to have been a Very Bad Idea, because as I was setting an alarm to keep from accidentally getting shut into a cemetery (...don't ask), out of my hands went the phone, cartwheeling across asphalt into a grassy verge; I thought it would be a goner for sure -- but not a scratch on it, and the experience even knocked some sense back into the compass, which has been a little screwy since the last time technology met gravity. And the camera, we can see, is fine:  Hardly the first example of team memorabilia I've seen as a graveside artefact around here, but as blended traditions go...  But we can only hope to go out as dapperly as this guy. So, score one for dumb luck and unexpectedly rugged engineering. I suppose one of these days I should look into finding a case for the damn thing... Tags: photo-post feeling: relieved

So far it's 600 words of rambling grief, random chickens and the fortuitously timely availability of safety-razors, but I think I'm starting to find the voice for the Proposed Story. It's at the frustrating stage where now I can see the overall structure and roughly what goes where when, but the individual images don't have words coming through as fast as I'd really like; but words are starting to attach themselves to one another and precipitate out of solution, so I'm more encouraged that there's really a story somewhere inside this particular chunk of marble Muse has dragged in and set up. Y'all try to make me leave the worries over what sort and how long until later on in the game for once, will you...? (Oh, and it has acquired a title I like better than "Women Standing In Kitchen, with occasional Vampire". Also, for Muse, a good sign, even if it's another one that's going to confuse the hell out of people and autocorrects...) Tags: fiction_and_sausages feeling: cautiously optimistic
