lagilmanMe, listening to my iPod on the way to the side gig:
...Now I been out in the desert, just doin' my time
Searchin' through the dust, lookin' for a sign
If there's a light up ahead well brother I don't know
But I got this fever burnin' in my soul
So let's take the good times as they go
And I'll meet you further on up the road."*
And my brain says “there.”
Me: “what?”
“That’s the song that’s the base of that story.”
“What story?”
“The story of how the devil claimed the Territory.”
“Oh. That story. We weren’t going to write that story for a while yet. If ever.”
“Surprise!”
“There’s like, two novels and a novella and a short story in queue ahead of it.”
“But Shiny!”
*sighs* “I guess I could write it as a year-end story-present to readers....”
“Um yeah. It’s a novel.”
“oh, FUCK YOU, brain.”
