this is one of those woo-woo posts ~

i want something fun to eat and i've run out of X-files episodes (say it isn't so, whatever will i do? work?)

so i check in on my writing draft today. it's not rising as i would have hoped. maybe it needed more baking powder. i'm going to leave it set and see if it doesn't improve by tomorrow. i did find that i was using "were" instead of "was" all through it. "they were going" instead of "they was going" etc. it's stuff like that i have to be really careful about.

still debating about the Gazette. since i haven't done anything to incorporate it into the storyline, i'm still not sure how best to use it. i already like the editor J.T Owsley. i imagine him to be a bit of a nebbish, maybe someone who believes in little green men from other planets and other such rubbish. he wears checkered trousers and a really stupid hat. no one takes him seriously, but he probably tells the truth.

i'm trying to think of a way to use Lewis' dreams about Thrones to tie in everything and i'm thinking maybe the gazette has a picture of a Throne and identifies it. this does several things: tells Lewis that Morse is a liar as suspected (since Morse evaded the question during the war), and also introduces the sort of weird "wheel of fortune"/angels at the table sort of duality of the world.

so where can i find a good woodcut of a Throne? Ophanim? Galgallin? anyone? anyone? below is a sketchy watercolor i made of a Throne about two years ago. if anyone's seen something like this in classic or ancient art, lemme know please.



Have you seen me?

it doesn't help that i myself am in the dark about what precisely the dreams of Thrones mean or what it means that Morse is a Throne. i feel like i'm missing a critical piece of the puzzle here. there are pieces of this cosmology that i haven't really thought through.
