Many Moods of the Schoharie
This morning the Schoharie is swollen with the rains of the previous four days. It appears angry and preoccupied as it carries run-off West toward the reservoir. Today, the color of rust. Tomorrow, too, given the volume of water and sediment it is carrying. Soon it will be clearer and calmer and satisfied. I have seen it black with rage, blue with ice, white-capped, green-tinged, brown bloated and yellow as a dry bone. Exposed in winter; hidden in summer, in spring it sprouts tadpoles, beaver dams and fishermen.
With all those DEP patrols, it doesn't sprout as many budweisers as it used to.

Magic Shoelaces!
My shoelaces are magic because no matter how I tie them, they come undone. Even if I double-knot them, they come undone in no time.
Upon close examination, I discovered they are magic! They are "gimmicked" as a prop for a magician's trick. You know the trick where Pronto cuts a string in half and it magically reunites itself?
Now we know how Pronto does it.

Things to love about GNC:
At the local bank, the tellers know your account numbers by heart.
At the local diner, the waitress knows your order by heart.
At the local hardware store, the clerk knows your house paint color by heart
...and that is just today.

Better start building a following...
The novel is now called The FPQ - the third title change, and this one seems to be sticking. It's mysterious without being obscure, it's explained rather early in the book, but the theme carries through to the last page. The reader will be rewarded for wondering and being patient...
Should it be F.P.Q.? Damn! I thought I was done fiddling with that!
The feedback from the few readers who have seen sample chapters is positive. I am encouraged to keep writing.
The genre? Easier to say what its not: not a romance, not a comedy, not a thriller, not a horror, not a documentary, not a crime story. Harder to say what it is... I've never read anything quite like it; what genre is Cider House Rules?
