Reaction to today’s tasting Room visit, typed. Now, the edit. Not now, actually. Tonight. More work with BOOK1 planned, as well. But where’s the money to publish? Maybe in my car, in this jar Mom and Dad gave me from Germany. Actually, it’s a behemothic beer mug. I use it for coin storage, but one day I’m filling it with beer, placing Self in a Munich pub. The travel bug, snake, snapping at my synapses every time I mention, or hear mentioned, a distant vicinity. Paris, the frontrunner. I don’t see that changing soon. Or ever.

As a writer, no less. A book should be out by now. Not far, that inaugural manuscript. Can’t be. I can’t afford it. “It,” being clock movement, not currency measurement.
