I've completed the first draft of "Ritual of the Savage." Won't you buy me a celebratory drink? I'm gonna take a short break, sip my tiki cocktail of choice (Missionary's Downfall) and then I'll be back to revise some dialogue, rework some scenes, etc.

The exciting conclusion is here.

I'm feeling good,
And my heart is made of wood.
I'm not alone,
And my soul is made of bone.
And they'll break, break, break the other hearts and souls.
Oh, I know they will.

--Bonnie Prince Billy/Will Oldham

Yes, I'm feeling good too. New pages. Nearly done! Then comes the revising.
