Mid-morning. You were up periodically
through the night with coughing fits and don’t feel so well to far today. Carol
is running an errand with neighbor Amy King and has volunteered to donate blood
at Hoxworth at noon. You need to prep chapter six and do the stats on chapter
five. – Amorella
Noon.
Just up from a nap you are feeling a bit better. When Carol returns, out for
lunch and running further errands. – Amorella
1226 hours. I cleaned the litter boxes
and swept their surrounds and cleaned up myself for lunch out if Carol will
trust that I will not have a coughing fit. Ellie is sitting between my ankles
on the footstool. I needed to get out of the bedroom and downstairs. The day is
looking rather pleasant with the blue sky intermixed with white clouds –
reminds me of the recent setting of the Dead in chapter five. I think of the
characters dressed for their own times except for Merlyn who I think might well
‘dress’ for the times he is in rather than his traditional seventh century garb
or Druid wrappings. In here he is a man for all seasons and earthly times.
You did not emulate Merlyn to become him
boy, so get that out of your mind. You adapted an historical and legendary
character in which to ‘ride’ your dreams. Merlyn is the vehicle and center of
the story. For you the center of the story is whichever character you have on
stage at the moment, even the setting is not essential. The ‘base’ for this is
one of your favorite plays of all time Thorton Wilder’s Our Town. It is
the quintessential seed if you will of the whole of your Merlyn stories. If any
scene of your books was dropped on the stage, the truest of settings would be
the starkness in Our Town. You got that boy? Post. Amorella
You are the Stage Manager. I direct. - Amorella
You both had excellent tasting and generous
dinners at Longhorn. Carol had salmon and a sweet potato and you had a
six-ounce renegade sirloin and a loaded baked potato with a side of onions and
mushrooms. You split the side salad. Carol is presently at Target in the VOA
Centre looking for a curling iron. Next stop, Kroger’s for sugarless cough
drops. – Amorella

I also discovered a couple grammar errors and I am correcting them
on the master. Chapter Six is set by segments and ready for working. Also, the
chapter title word this time is ‘Transparency’ or I assume it is.
Later in the afternoon. You are sitting in
the shade of a single tree; the Honda is facing south on the east earth dam lot
while Carol is taking her walk at Pine Hill Lakes Park – a clear and cool blue
afternoon sky pervades. ‘Transparency’ hit you earlier while at the VOA Centre;
out of the blue it was, interesting, eh? - Amorella
1625
hours. The quiet allows a listening to the chirps of crickets within a hundred
yards or so. Four children of various sizes playing tag or swinging near
playground equipment with two early forties’ something parents observing with
affectionate attachment. A few trees have frost’s first touch of red on this very
peaceful sunny afternoon on the last official day of summer in the park, 2014. A
few walkers (with dogs or without) are about. A few cars are scattered in the
north lot sixty or seventy feet to my west.
1639
hours. ‘Transparency’ (chapter word) appeared hovering in the center region of
my brain. Consciousness surrounded and moved in to pluck the word up – upon the
initial hovering the use of the word was immediate. It is interesting how these ‘creative’ aspects work from time to time.
Carol returns. (1641)
