Amoeba Dick is now nearly 91,000 words long, and should be finished within the next two to three weeks. I'll take a month or so off writing, in order to attend to some painting & decorating issues at home. Then I'll start work on my next novel: "Pretty Poli; or Monsieur Perroquet's Ascent to a High Perch".

Other news: an idea came to me the other night, about a sort of eco-fetish novel, rejoicing in the soubriquet: "Forest Gimp".
