Since I haven’t anything important going on today I decided I might as well post chapter 2 of The Numberless Stars on OWW.  27 Jan

Tangled children

Random quote of the day:

“You send books out into the world and it’s very hard to shuck them out of the spirit.  They are tangled children, trying to make their way in spite of the handicaps you have imposed on them.  I would give a pretty to get them all back home and take one last good swing at every one of them.  Page by page.  Digging and cleaning, brushing and furbishing.  Tidying up.”

—John D. MacDonald, introduction to Stephen King’s Night Shift*

*No, I didn’t leave a word out.
