A Book of Tongues: THUD

[handful_ofdust]

509 friggin' words, after virtually all day spent staring at it 'til I thought my brow was going to bleed. Still, I've cracked 58,000 words overall, and I do creep closer to Bewelcome. I'm also very much enjoying the fruits of my 16 Horsepower searches. There are apparently at least two other 16 HP albums, Low Estate and Secret South, and from what I can tell from reading their lyrics (hosted at David Eugene Edwards' home-page, Thanks For Clapping), I absolutely must have them.

Some other stuff brewing, too--possibly good. I can't say much about it, though. And I thought idly today about trying to write something for Beneath Ceaseless Skies, maybe set in the same universe as BoT--that The Heart's Filthy Lesson prequel idea I once had, an eternity ago. Especially since I've sort of started thinking of Heart's Filthy... as the most obvious candidate for my "next" novel, after I finally force myself through this one...

Anyhow: Moot, at the moment. Tomorrow will be an endless parade of Cal-related activities, culminating in the fabled Sharon/Bram show over at PAL. I wonder if he'll be up to it.

I wonder if I will.

16 horsepower, "horsehead fiddle"

That was one of my instant favorites.

And Woven Hand! One of their songs is titled "Aeolian Harp (Underworld)." I don't care if it's about cartwheels, I need to hear it.

I approve. Will it also have sex and weirdness?

Well, I don't think BCS is big on the sex, as I recall. But the weirdness seems like a virtual certainty!
