Canadian Trucker Limerick
goldennews |
In Ottawa streets walk brutes,
Quite proud of their nice jackboots,
But while they high-five,
Their wives do connive,
With truckers in carnal pursuits.

Running Book Crosses Finish Line
dreamstime.com |
At 1:38 PM Pacific Time this fine day I completed the first draft of my marathon book. It falls into the novella category, running 108 pages and almost 40k words. That will change as I slim it down, augment with an appendix explaining various running terms and techniques, and craft front and back matter.
But for all that, the research was assembled and the text written in around three months. That could just be a new record for me.
So I'll let the book simmer while my subconscious sorts out matters of narrative and style.
More soon.

Be careful what you wish for.
