tocryaboutYes, Chapter 5 of The Aphanes, "Voices from the Wilderness" is up. See, I meant that about being almost done with it. Just over 17,000 words at this point, and the novella should top out around 55,000 words.
This is also one of those chapters where things actually happen, so you might be interested in checking it out. I'm slow to get going, but I do have a plot here besides "Charles works his brilliant telepathy/psychotherapy magic; breakthrough results." Plot is not really one of my strengths; I always feel like I'm being hideously obvious and then people tell me I'm actually being obscure and then too abrupt -- things in my stories seem to happen inexplicably, even when I feel like I've explained everything. So please let me know if you see that sort of flaw in this (I really would rather know about flaws than virtues in my writing).
And I'm probably the only one who enjoys the regional stuff, but if you're a fan of the national capital region, this chapter has Archibald Lampman and yellow plastic mailboxes. It don't get more O-C than that, my friends.
