Alvida’s Window, John Bauer
31,134. More than halfway through this year’s November Novel, and it’s not been as smooth as I’d hoped, in fact, it came close to disaster, and I almost gave up, but I managed to rescue the manuscript. Still, it’s been a tough wrestle with the pen. Was afraid I wouldn’t make the goal this year, but looks like I’ll manage it.
“The last seed
falls from the sunflower-
empty pond.
The long awaited
rattle of rain on rooftops-
Thanksgiving Day.”
- Michael P. Garofalo, Cuttings
