Novel Stopped Due to Illness
So overnight I developed a bit of a cold. Darnit. The weather changes, and people get sick, so I get sick too. Fresh. I cranked out a good 500 words then Husbandido came home. We went to sushi, and I took a dayquil there, but then got hooked up with some hot sake (it really does clear your sinuses, note to self), and now I'm drowsy and feeling like I got nothin' in me to write about.
Good movement tho so far. Here's what I came up with, after the jump.
James Bulintao is the first son of Malinda and Chespe Bulintao. Born in San Francisco after a sojourn on a long plane trip from Manila, James came into the world with big eyes, ones that seemed to take over his face. When he was brought home after Malinda’s recovery, he carefully watched people who came into his room as if he already knew them. While many babies do track new faces with bubbling interest, James stared at them as if to bore holes into their own. More than one side conversation discussed this, with one aunt commenting that maybe someone came back from “the other side” and is trying to find someone who he recognizes. Upon hearing this, the women made signs of the cross, and murmured a small prayer that they not get visited from some unknown and possibly unwelcome specter of a relative.
Funny. Chespe. Short for Chesapeake. Go figure. I love Filipinos. - VDC
