zygote

I've been wandering with my hand in my hair tucking a strand behind my ear looking around listening to all the city sounds and wondering where the hell am I in this world, in this life...who is casting a shadow on the pavement, trembling at the hard strike of noise behind me...who is remembering the songs from earlier years when love was EVERYthing...who is casting the role of lover on a tin paper foil, forgotten in a old pair of jeans too tattered to wear anymore...I keep saying out loud it's too late, it's too late, it's too late...while an ember still burns in a belly full of dreams...the song is still there in soft whispered tones that bubble up in short stuccato phrases, disparate sounds...yet there i am lying awake grasping in the dark and all i hear is an aching silence.

Stone Cold - Demi Lovato

I gotta say this one snuck up on me.  It was making the rotations last year but tonight I really heard it. And now I kinda love it.

Indigo is not dead

I broke out Indigo again...I made up my mind to finish this project. I feel completely lost with it but I'm just going to take it one chapter at a time until I flesh out the story.  I was reading the first couple of chapters from an earlier version of it and I always loved the initial impulse.  I think I lost my way because I tended to listen to my writing group's suggestions instead of following my own path with the project.  I almost want to scrap the last version and start from the very beginning.  I did re-read some feedback from one of my readers, Ric, because I knew he read/understood the science fiction component which also went away with all the new revisions.  His feedback made me laugh out loud in the middle of a train because it was so on-point with what I was trying to achieve initially. Anyway, this story will be held close to the vest until the novel is in final form.  I just need to remember to trust my instincts and see where the story/the characters take me on this journey. If they are willing to talk to me again.  I may have severed that link but I'll give it another go and see what happens.
I'm also rethinking the title. I was walking around Barnes and Noble at Union Square today. God, I really love being in a bookstore, its really one of my happy places.  Anyway, I was skimming titles and there are too many titles out there with Indigo in the title. I'm sure I can find something else to replace it...I'll do that last, once i'm finished this project.

Peace,
L~
