Cut Cemetary: Entry 1
The sentence above was cut from Second Contact last night, in Chapter 11 "Politics of a Pregnancy", where Di Mon investigates Von's disappearance on Gelion. I just like the sentence! And the idea of Ameron being a real, but very differently interpreted, inspiration for both D'Ander and Di Mon. No two disciples see the same master, but there is still a bond. It fell to the cutting floor along with a lot of internalization that I could not help seeing was a ball and chain that the conversation between Di Mon and D'Ander had to drag along. Down to 163,000 words and falling fast. Michael Armstrong wears Okal Rel T-Shirt for Inspiration Went to another "West of Unruly" reading last night. My friend Michael Armstrong was reading at Art Space in Prince George, on a slate with Barry McKinnon and bill bissett. I was feeling tired and bummed until he gave me a hug and pulled back the side of his poetically open, white shirt to reveal that the black T-Shirt beneath bore an Okal Rel symbol. Doubtless it lent its strength to making his reading a rel one.
