So apparently I’ve got another story cooking. And so I’m sticking a land-dwelling, ‘made it through the Cambrian unscathed’ version of Opabinia that likes to drop its (really ridiculously long) proboscis down and tag crickets and things with this sort of staple-gun like apparatus, that can draw blood on people if they’re not too careful. It’s ok because it all takes place in an alternate universe where everything I write makes sense. It would have to. If only everyone else lived in that universe, I might make a bit more money at this than I do. Also, I would be your god-king. This would not necessarily guarantee my manuscripts making it past first-read, though. Some things are beyond even the overmind.
“Like two and a half cats watching you from the bushes,” is how I describe it. Again, any failure to resemble, in proportion, appearance or likely behavior, any standard models of Opabinia fall under the magic cloud of “alternate universe, in which this is not even the weirdest thing that happens.” I desperately want a toy opabinia for my desk now but I haven’t been able to find one. I’m sure there’s some science model store kind of place online that has it.
Also, fourth gear is wonderful. The only bad thing that can happen in fourth gear, is not being in fifth gear. Third gear is dumb, second gear makes Jesus cry and first gear is only there because it has to be. If only they could invent some kind of transmission that would automagically take it, say, immediately out of first gear and into a higher gear based entirely on how fast I was going. An automatic transmission, if you will.
It feels good to comfortably write again. Now let’s just hope I don’t look back on this post in a year disappointed, again, at the false start and the even bigger pile of aborted unsalable crap.
Working on new graphics on the site. Haven’t finished hashing out some of the new javascripts. Remember all of those games I was doing in Game Maker? Haven’t touched them since October. Of course my plan is to have some of those damn things finished, as well. Mind you, they are none of them terribly clever, complex, or original. Mostly they’re just me rehashing old Intellivision and Atari games. Maze games and shooters and standard stuff.
We shall see.

Near the edge of the world he waited, for the light to change
