Today's menu: SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!
Renewing covid jab this morning, downtown, at a free clinic. Since getting a shot at CVS-- where it had been free for individuals w/o insurance up until three months ago --now sets a body back a min of $200.
After that, we'll see if my arm functions well enough for a complete re-type of the working draft of PROMISELAND. Probably at Loaves + Witches, because I need to work in a cozy atmo that isn't home.
It's how I usually do these things: write a draft, review, re-type, revising as I go. This would be the third draft. I normally only do two to three drafts. This fucker might go to four; PAINLESS ran four drafts. AZURE PANTRY only went three drafts. DENIZEN was two. That was easier because I knew the Big Beats, since it was a historical crime thing. KILL HOUSE is on its third draft. PROMISELAND, I'm off the res, because it's massively ahistorical & has consistently been surprising me.
I have to insert a bus scene and some characters-- Robert de Grimston (of the Process church), David Berg plus other creeps. de Grimston's working as a sideshow geek & pole sitter at the local boardwalk, where beachcomber David Berg and his wife(?) are heckling the simp. Dennis Hopper is walking home after a particularly disastrous pass at Bobby Beausoleil. There's gonna be a surprise waiting for Dennis on the bus. A surprise fresh out of jail.
For my travels I hope there are no surprises on the train to, or from, the clinic. Chi transit surprises sometimes have a predilection for setting hair on fire.
