clarentineThe bad thing about this time of year is that I always end up being pulled in so damned many directions it's hard to really accomplish anything.
The work on Satisfaction is progressing nicely, though I had to bow my head and accept a mocking last week. Last round I missed not a day, but last round was in the winter and I did not have design work and preparing for various and sundry summer vacation things and a dog who insists I go outside and play with her every other hour when I'm home. Nevertheless, I'm something like 76 pages (SMF) ahead of where I was at the start of this round, and that is a hell of a lot of words. Progress is incremental, but it is being made.
*****
Research since I last reported in included such varied topics as species of bamboo native to Central and South America, amongst which is something that is called chusque, out of Colombia and Ecuador; antique bone/amputation saws; ship's lamps; plantains; and the symptoms of the onset of malaria.

Last weekend,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
matociquala broke my heart yet again. If you haven't read New Amsterdam, I recommend you find a copy. Lovely bittersweet collection of separately-published short fiction that, taken together, makes a nice narrative. And yes, damn it, the ending killed me...but, after gnashing my teeth over it, I had to admit that it wasn't as if I didn't see it coming.
Brava, Bear. Keep on slaying me.
