Symir's bay is totally full of those now.

When I get done with the next couple of scenes, I'm giving myself permission to go back and clean up the draft. I am in dire need of a calender and various world-building thingies. A map of the city would be great too.

I also have a bunch of drabbles to write. ultharkitty's wants to be a whole story, and is now calling itself "Inland", because Edna St. Vincent Millay still rocks my world. And speaking of rocking, Dylan Thomas has given me both a title for a potential story collection--Death and Entrances--and a new epigraph for Salvage:

There shall be coral in your beds
There shall be serpents in your tides,
Till all our sea-faiths die.

And I'm not bitter about matociquala's new title, even if I did have it first. At least at the rate I'm finishing novels, it'll be five years before that one is done or sold. :P

That's both an excellent title and a very good epigram. I love Dylan Thomas.
