So that's another 700 words on Magenta Shaman Stones the Crow, bringing the first draft up to 10k already. The end is nigh - and I finally know what's going to happen - and to whom.
Time to put shaman mode to one side and open up the big book in search of words that are not my own. But first...
Congratulations to Phil Ambler for tearing our hearts to pieces with the real-life horror of losing a child, and the guilt of passive neglect (It wasn't his fault!!!) Loss was last week's winner.
And well done to runner-up AJ Humpage for throwing the truth in our faces with Just Another Echo; street life is one of desperation and loneliness. How can we bring ourselves to turn the other cheek?

I wonder if we'll get bigger, plumper words this time after last week's little pip squeaks. Here goes:
- Understand (all variants allowed)
- Carnelian
- Toadstool
Hmmm - I like these words. Nothing flashes immediately to mind but nothing a little meditation won't cure.

The equinox at this time of year is also about putting down roots and preparing for the longer nights - all fuel for writing, I think. Let's see if this festival of Mabon warms your cockles...
