i tried hard to put a chapter down yesterday. i was largely unsuccessful. i find myself needing to readdress my main character. i must. don't want to. but i must.

i also finished read Fledling by Octavia Butler. It was her last piece of work before dying last year. it was a well, welcomed redefining of vampires and the lore that is black capes and monstorous murdering. she does that, Octavia. taking a seeded and and accepted belief of something and turning it to its most humanistic of all things, love and necessity.

now i turn to MY SOUL TO KEEP by Tananarive Due. her comparison to Butler on NPR means there will be high expectations in my reading. i hope she delivers.
