There are shadows (novel update #6)

‘So the spider hangs’ is moving along at a gentle pace. It has reach a little over 6,000 words and I have merged the three previous chapters into one beginning. Today I wrote two more pages in my notebook which ended with this little paragraph.

Even in the dark there are shadows, as there is always a brighter light in the blink of an eye of song from the feathers of reality than in the noon-day sun as it burns away the eclipses of time, and so there is always a bouquet of possibilities ready to bloom into existence.

I shall be putting this aside for a short time while I give my short Young Adult novel a final edit before setting it free. I’ve been writing it on and off since 1999 so I think it deserves my full attention. I’ve set myself a target to have it self-published with Lulu before the end of April.

Also there is a move to a new apartment in the pipeline, so in the next few weeks I might be a bit quiet.
