Hello, all – this Monday was a little rough for me. The plumbers had to come in and replace the toilet at 9:00 AM. So, not only was I having minor panic attacks, but I was also running on a few hours of sleep. When they left and I came down, I decided to take a nap and I had an odd dream. I am surprised I remembered it.

I was driving in my car to work on a particular stretch of highway (I-65 S for those of you playing the home game) by the airport. I was zipping along at a good clip – I know it was a dream because there no police pulling me over. This is a three lane highway and the lanes on either side were at a standstill. The lane I was in was barely occupied. It was just me zipping along. When I passed the airport, I saw something that looked like a toll plaza, but there was a chain-link fence on the other side. This is what was stopping the cars in the other two lanes. Ahead of me there were two other cars. I slowed down and eventually stopped. On the other side of the fence, there was no road, but what looked like a sea of lava within the confines of the road. On the other side it was the same landscape: the overpass, the clearings and the buildings were all there and unchanged. Just the road ahead of me was lava. The attendant there on the other side of the fence grabbed a big hose and started to spray the lava. The lava hissed, steamed and eventually cooled. He unlocked the gate and the cars ahead of me started to travel on this road. I followed, but a lot slower than what I usually travel. The road was bumpy and unmarked, but I still travelled it. When I came over the large hill is when I woke up.

I am following the schedule, so when I am done here it’s off to work on I/O Error. I am trying to get this novel done so I can go on to the next one-shot. As far as the series, I am going to go on ahead and start Tyro’s series. I’ve gotten some really good ideas about it, and I am amped up to start the big series. This is the one that I hope will put me on the map as it were. It’s a really good series (or it is in my head) and it’s one that I am very passionate about. I hope that passion will show itself in the work. I have to admit: Tyro is probably the closest thing I will ever have to a daughter.

As far as the smut goes, I did finish one (As Kinky as We Get) and I was working on another one when the week ran out (Appealing – spoiler, this one is based off a fantasy I have). I’m going to go back to it later on. As far as the smut goes, I want to have a three month buffer (6 stories – I plan on releasing them twice a month) to work with. I hope everyone has a good day. I should get to work.

Sincerely,

Seething Apathy
