Copper promo USS Razorback Torpedo rm Pixabay Welcome to Hidebound Hump Day, my chuckaboos!

When I wrote this episode back in 2015, I was working on a novel called The Guitar Mancer. Later I even tried to serialize it here as a means of finishing it. The feedback of readers back then brought an unexpected change to the story. It was almost complete, but with my job, I still wasn’t able to write “the end.”

Special thanks to Lavinia Ross, who I think loves that story more than anyone else does. “Time keeps rolling on,” as she sings in one of her songs, yet she continues to encourage me to finish that novel. Hopefully, once I get moved and settled into my new digs, I will do that soon. Here’s a beautiful sample of Lavinia’s music.

Not to repeat myself from my Saturday post, but…

Happy Chinese New Year. Happy Year of the Earth Pig!

Now that I’ve gotten that out of my system. My chuckaboos, it’s time for Hidebound Hump Day! Our heroes are in a strange purple world. It reminded me of this image Rob Goldstein made for the virtual art show I held for him.

This chapter has Felicity pondering some issues of the heart. Some of you might think back to earlier chapters, and whether or not you were on “team Ignatius.” If you ask Cornelis, he’d say the Woman in Trousers was smitten. (Chapter 16)

People have always encouraged me to write romances, but I leave that to the experts — like Mary. The “random things” that drove today’s episode were sent by

Abandoned Locomotive 2 When I wrote this chapter back in 2015, I was experiencing a lack of energy. It made me relate to these images of worn-out, abandoned locomotives.

Since my characters sometimes reflect my experiences of a given moment, I went to my manuscript with the intention of exploring what a tiny magical green skunk-like creature would do if he was fatigued.

However, to my surprise I didn’t give my characters my own weariness. Quite the contrary — they energized me! Today I hope to tap into that energy once again. My simple life has made many demands on me lately.

Chapter 25 Cornelis remarked about about other realities. Dash my wig, but that has me worried! The alchemist intended to work an extremely dangerous spell. Absinthe, the Green Fairy used his own magic to create a map that showed Calvin Hixon’s location on a starry map. Or at least that’s what everyone seemed to think.

Chapter 26.1 When we left our heroes, Cornelis Drebbel’s submarine had managed to go underneath the ack ruffians who were hunting…
