No writing today, though I should have been finishing "La Peau Verte." Instead, the entire day and night was wasted in the most meaningless, vile sort of Real Life. Writers have that too. Sometimes it comes as a surprise. Today was one of those days that could have been better spent removing my toe and fingernails with a grapefruit spoon. With luck, tomorrow will be better (it could only get a little worse) and I'll finish the story. I did a modest 833 words on it yesterday.
Last night I watched The Scarlet Empress, which, I think, does Gothic as well as any film ever has.
