Short, short entry today. I did not really begin Chapter Nine of Murder of Angels yesterday. I tried, hard, in a day filled with senseless dren, and finally realized that I didn't know What Happens Next. Now I think I do so hopefully things will move ahead today. I did figure out, yesterday, that the ten chapters should be divided into two parts, not three, and that Part One will be called "Worms at Heaven's Gate" (from Wallace Stevens) and the second part will be called "Wars in Heaven." I think.
And that reminds me of one of my all-time favourite stupid Amazon comments about Silk (Voltaire has written a whole song about stupid Amazon "reviews"), a "review" complaining because the book wasn't more like the Prophecy films, because, after all, here was all this talk of wars in Heaven, right?, and everyone knows Caitlin has a thing for Christopher Walken, and, anyway, all this was already done in Prophecy already, right?, and who wants to read it, anyway.
It was just about that coherent. I wish I could be someone else today.
