After a solid month of solid key punching, I’ve written roughly half of my next book. I’m at 107 pages, presently.

It was my intention from the start to write this piece in one swift stroke, the cutting blow that will bring the publishing world to its knees. Well, not as such. I’m taking April off to go to Hairakhan for a Spring festival, see the Taj, Varansi, etc. We’ll plan on an end of May completion, instead.
The nature of the work requires a sharp change in tone around the middle. This is my chance to fit into it. The experience of writing MB has been nearly perfect, and you can see it in the quality. It retains the humor of the earlier books, but sometimes the content terrifies even me.

I look forward to posting something of MB. When I finish, I’ll put the first 30 pages up, which is a solid introduction.

Since I only write something here once per season, I think it’s time for the Spring posting.

Firstly of all, I am in Auroville, India and I still publicly call myself a writer. If someone asks me what I do, I reply: I’m a writer, give me a hug and a sandwich. Luckily, I’m surrounded by sympathetic people and I get many sandwiches.

Nextly, I’m wasting away in front of a laptop, while I write my fifth novel, which I’ll give the cryptic title, MB. It’s an acronym for the real title. If you guess right, I’ll give you $1. I’ve written about 3/11 of the book, and am scheduled for a late April completion. It’s also one half of an art of living project I’ve created for myself and of myself. I’ll explain more, when it’s finished.

The fourth book, Cavernous, is still looking for a home.
