   Wind/Water/Salt  Chapters 31-51:  Need to take up comments and revise.  Synopsis:  Maybe I should post it for comments.  Had a glimmering of what to do with Fairfax next.  Persephone  (probably not its real name): I found myself writing and layering in the same scene over and over, which I guess is how I work now.   Short Stories:   Critted  11  Got back   2   Submissions  0  Out there  0  Rejects  0 Knitting Anna Maria  (Faroe Island Knits).
