Timeout for a few days to restore and refresh and let this gestate, then step-by-step scene-by-scene Final in a new blog with, if it comes to me before then, a new title. Sense current form is too long but a notion of where and what to cut.

silly interlude re i WILL finish this talkinamyself
a sense of things in place after an advance re the rubik's cubing at mom's o'er the long weekend. a pause today after closing dublin's last night after flyaway from airport, maybe probably finish act 3 beats tomorrow, step away, then back to finish in finally final blog.
indeed.
It's - pardon my precious - finding Story so as to be able to better tell it, added to the conceit that, one, it matters, and two, that there IS a particular form that is the expression of Story. Writing begets further (deeper?) understanding; the form one has in mind is subject to change. Is, in my experience, subject to inevitable change. As example - I write this For The Record, btw, re course and course correction - Daisy's emergence as Character, and Brian and Brian's Dad and Brian's Son re same re Character and extension of Story. Anyway, at last the Knowing i WILL get this done, the hardest work behind me. These Characters are real to me, like fucking Spells.
