Yesterday, I began a new story, "Mercury," which turned out to be a new Deacon Silvey story. It will be published as a chapbook by Subterranean Press, included with the lettered edition of Low Red Moon. It was almost comforting, going back to Deacon, who I'd not written since finishing LRM last August. He's my oldest recurring character, the one who started what would become Tales of Pain and Wonder and so many other things. I wrote him first in May 1994, in "Anamorphosis," shortly after moving to Athens, Georgia. I did a little more than 500 words yesterday.
I need more bookshelves, which is really kind of ridiculous. There are eleven in my office already.
I've half a mind to go somewhere today. Almost anywhere would do. Athens, maybe.
