I am back to the text, reading Song of Susannah picking up at "Susannah Mio: 10th Stanza".

When I last left the book, Eddie and Roland were on their way to go find Stephen King himself. Based on this chapter's title, we're switching back to Susannah/Mia and their "chap" to whom they're close to giving birth!

But... Where are Jake, Oy and Father Callahan? We're more than halfway through the book and haven't heard a peep out of them!

I take a little break from the book to spend time with Kingslingers and their deep dive into these last few sections of Song of Susannah.

For fun I thought to portray my own interpretation of the "Crimson King" as an early Halloween riff. But the sight of police state brutality on Wall Street—and the mainstream news blackout of same—was horror enough for me that year.

While revising Chronic Grumpiness, I removed a short coda.
One fragment survived.
Bill Hodges is sitting at a bar, looking at a spoon, investigating.
"Did you notice everything in the spoon is upside down?"
He holds it at the angle that makes the point most clearly. The bar is upside down.
"That's the way life is. Only the spoon got it figured out."
The line amused me when I wrote it. It also lingered.

If you had a chance to ask an author or artist (living or deceased) one question, what would it be?

For Stephen King: What would your life have been like if you’d had a standard nine-to-five office job?
