My dear, given the lax posting schedule of so many bloggers (ahem), there is never a need for apology.

Yes, this entire construction process is just fascinating — a window into an entirely new and different creative world for me. I’m just hunting for old Halloween stories to perform, and working on a pitch to an eminent fantasy and sf writer for Willamette Radio Workshop to adapt some of his tales in an old-time-radio style format.

“Paper Doll,” no matter by whom (I’m fond of one of the earliest versions, by the Mills Brothers) is an exquisitely creepy song. It’s very upbeat and pleasantly charming in melody and tone, almost jaunty, but the lyrics are laced with pathos. The singer is a depressed and discouraged loser at love. It gives me chills.

I’ve been watching your progress from the beginning and am fascinated with your patience and how one step flows to the next.
I have the perfect place for one of the beautiful Coralines in my home (fingers crossed).

How about a sound track? Maybe the Mills Brothers singing, “I want to have a paper doll that I can call my own.” Mary, she’s gorgeous.
