Eva’s Byte #337 – Sometime Tomorrow
The words in the title of a poignant song, “Sometime Tomorrow” by Conrad Goode, whose lyrics resonate in my soul, served as inspiration to write one of my tributes on the Acknowledgement page in Etta’s Fishing Ground. Unbeknownst to me until I got there, those two words also became part of the finish line in the Epilogue.
My “sometime tomorrow” for the print version to go live on Amazon could take up to 72 hours. Since the Kindle version went live on 10/12 EST, the countdown clock is ticking.
While I’m not going hog-wild to promote my new release until the print copy is available on Amazon, I’ve tossed in the link to the eBook:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09J8WMH9Q/
Anyway, for a quirky diversion, I thought I’d list the props which ground my story. In and of themselves, they probably seem downright kooky. Should you decide to blaze a trail along Etta’s Fishing Ground until the journey’s end, they’ll make perfect sense.
Cheesy sausage-and-croissant casserole
A dead bass
A 1950 Ford Woodie Wagon
A 1969 Citroen named Sydney
Cabin No. 6
An Aspidistra
*May each of us accomplish our current goals in the vicinity of the long or short of sometime tomorrow.
My sincere appreciation if you’ve read this far.

Eva’s Byte #387 – A Little Further
The American novelist of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest fame (1962), essayist and countercultural icon, Ken Kesey considered himself a link between the Beat Generation of the 1950s and Hippies of the 1960s.
“You’re either on or off the bus,” he said.
Coinciding with the publication of Kesey’s second novel which required going to New York, he and a group of friends called the Merry Pranksters took a cross-country trip in a psychedelic, refurbished school bus named Further.
Going a little further in celebrating the spirit of the Sixties, I purchased a “Little Further” bus offered on a website hosted by Zane Kesey, Ken’s son. Utilizing dipart painting, Zane duplicates a technique discovered by the Merry Pranksters high on LSD during their Further tour.
Furthermore, the bus comes with a signed certificate of authenticity, and actually has pull-back action to go go go!
My claim to fame is knowing a fellow writer who corresponded with Ken Kesey and was gifted a bus the merriest of pranksters hand-painted himself.
Far-out!
A source of inspiration to further my own writing, I’ve parked the bus on my desk.
Meantime, I’ve progressed a lot further along Chapter 19 (1913) of my Contemporary work in progress, nearing the finish line.
*When navigating creative endeavors gets tough, may each of us find inspiration to go a little further.
My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
