  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): If, as I wrote about last month, it's got the beats of a romance novel, I need those other two sex scenes.    Short Stories:  Finished and posted that story I wanted to get on the 'shop.

I keep talking about it to people.  LHC #147: "A portrait of the addict as a young man" by Bill Clegg. Memoirs about addiction seem easier somehow to get through than books where it's a character flaw in a larger fiction. I wonder why. One of the MCs in Persephone has a histor
