<p>I feel pretty much like this about my writing.

The novel is called <span style="text-decoration: underline;">A Speculative Biography or Alive and Well in the City of My Dreams</span> and is set in a future/alternative history Pacific NW, which is not exactly easy to think about and keep myself in a Wild West mindset as well. During November I do plan to use this site to post pages, chapter, paragraphs of the novel for you, kind reader, to peruse.<br></p><p>So, once I've finished haikuwestern and then work on the novel, I will come back to hw, edit and tweak and then the plan is to publish the entire thing in some sort of semi-permanent(paper) offline form.</p><p>And then....I am not sure. But I do believe after all that I will start on a new Western.</p><p>Thanks for reading.<br></p><p><br></p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://haikuwestern.squarespace.com/authors-notes/rss-comments-entry-2039621.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Ugh.</title><dc:creator>Thomas Christopher Jones</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 11 Jul 2008 23:16:05 +0000</pubDate><link>http://haikuwestern.squarespace.com/authors-notes/ugh.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">163925:2425303:1983416</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>So I have found out that it is harder to write at home than at work.
