Wind/Water/Salt While editing Chapter 43, I realized there was no way to explain from where Preston (POV character) was what Abigail was up to, and how she managed to do it, so I broke that chapter in half and stuck another chapter in the middle. So then I had 50 chapters, maybe 51? Then I read to the end, and deleted Chapter 46, and broke 47 into three. This made it possible for the characters to behave in anything like a consistent way. I don't even know how many chapters there really are anymore. Maybe 53?  Chapters 26-27: Took up comments.   Chapters 29-42:  Need to take up comments and revise.    Chapter 43 (including 43.1):  Finished and posted.   Chapter 44-(end):  Read and revised.  Persephone  (probably not its real name): I got to the part of my library reading list that had a lot of research books for this, which put me in the headspace again. This is the most musically motivated thing I've written, I think. Other people post ...

  LHC #104: "Gingerbread" by Helen Oyoyemi.  I actually remember wanting to read this when I put it on the list. I made gingerbread in its honor, and the boy asked if he could take some for his girlfriend, but it contained eggs and she's allergic, so I had to make another one... This book was worth every minute.  LHC #105: "To Say Nothing of the Dog" by Connie Willis. I got it out because it was the highest item on the list that didn't have a wait. Apparently it's book 2 of a series. I wish that had been clear on the synopsis on the library website? It's part of the description on Overdrive, but not on the main TPL site. And it was on my list because it was the only thing they had in hard copy by Connie Willis, which seems wrong somehow. I just looked, and the situation is better now.  Anyway, I think my dad would have loved Connie Willis. The science fictional time travel blended with the Wodehouse-style humor and energy would totally have been his...
