I guess it's been a while since I indulged by invisible audience to my black-and-white text box observations. I've been spending a lot of time writing and working, sleeping and drinking. I am working on my novel at least every other day and have made significant progress -- although I am still only one chapter one, the framework of the entire thing is slowly building. Entire books of poems that I have written are circulating through the postal system and through magazine companies and the offices of publishers, worming their way in slowly. Everyday I feel as if I am setting a bomb that is not set to go off for a very long time.
