December 23, 2011
On Monday night, my cousin’s teen daughters, Solana and Maya, lost their home.
It burned to the ground.
Literally.
I am beyond grateful Solana and Maya and their mother Stefanie are okay. But they need, well —

I was disturbed I managed to lose the music machine’s science fiction controlling device in a loft — a loft doesn’t have many places to lose something in. I was more disturbed my impulse to look in the fridge and wine opener drawer found it.

SlowMotif: On Writing →
slowmotif:
It’s midnight, which is early in my world, but I’m tired. And yet all I want to do is write. I don’t even know what about. I’m sure this is going to drive my art directors mad, as they must know exactly what I should be writing about (projects involving them), but instead I’ll write for a few…
