| Good morning. I'm here to scarf down a big helping of crow. Anybody know any good recipes? It was five days ago. Let me underline that. Five. Days. Ago. A work week back, I was on here crowing about breaking the shackles that held me at the keyboard even though I haven't been able to produce anything original for a decade, and here I am. I'm frankly embarrassed, but let me try to present this in order. Last night I had finished up a gaming session. Borderlands, a mindless shooter where you're trying to find an alien vault that may or may not exist, and in the course of your travels, you blast anything that moves. The watchword is, "If it's growin', it's goin'!" So, I completed the errand I was on, and as there wasn't time to complete another one, I decided to watch a couple of YouTube videos before I turned in. YouTube, as they always do, offered a page of suggestions for me to look at, and this one caught my eye: It will be readily apparent what "caught my eye" if you actually follow the link, but never mind that. This is a song, a modernized sea shanty, and the girl has a voice that marches down your spine and leaves a lust for adventure in your soul. Years ago, I began a seagoing fantasy that died at the midpoint (it was early in the Comatose Muse period), and I moved on to other things, things that likewise failed to come to completion. But, driven by that song and the voice that sings it, I have dusted it off and intend to see whether it will sail, so to speak. I'll gradually put up what I have as I return to the way I used to do things, building a road map in the form of a detailed outline, and we'll see what happens. Here's the prologue; wish me luck!
