Yo no soy marinero. . .soy capitan, soy capitan

What with one thing and another, actual writing has been going a little -- OK, a lot -- slower than I'd like.  I did sit down with Mozart, the pad, and the pen and we figured out -- with Mozart of course doing the heavy lifting; I want to stress that --  how to accommodate the second POV in a way that's not too intrusive.  We think.  That meant I had to recast the first scene, which meant I lost some words.  Of course.  But the scene is better now, and the reveal will be the better for being done slowly, over time.  So, yanno -- it's all good.

Just not fast.

I think I forgot to mention here that sandals are now on sale at the Dexter shoe outlet in Waterville.  At the time I received this information, via the store's marquee, it was snowing a bastid and we could barely see the car in front of us.

Also, of slightly more import -- there's a new luthier in Waterville, right next to/slightly under Somerset Violins.  I'm not clear on whether the new shop -- Patkus Guitars -- is related to Somerset Violins, or if the Railroad Square shops and work spaces are just a super-nice location for people who build stringed instruments.  I do like living in a place where I can say that there's a new luthier in town, though.

Tomorrow, I'm hoping  for neither alarums or excursions of any flavor.  I really need to get some work done, here, Universe, 'k?

"You must be somethin'," Frenchy said, and her voice actually was a little hushed, as if she'd just witnessed an event of no small moment.

"King Cat?" I asked, trying for flippant.

"Near enough. The fishing men call him Old Mister, and even they do what he says."

Wholeheartedly wishing you cooperation from the universe.

And I wanted to mention how much I'm enjoying the little snippets from the new book that you've been dropping in for us.

That's a *very* nice snippet.
