A while back on the old board I wondered if the Cyteen sequel would directly involve Cyteen's characters, or be less closely connected. I don't regularly read Cherryh's blog but I found this hint tonight: "12/05/06. Tuesday. I had no trouble recalling Grant's alphabetic sequence, ALX, but could not for the life of me recall the 972. Grant, I will assure you, would have no trouble recalling it." |

There have been several other hints, some public, some not so much: 1) The book opens with "a young Ari II reflecting upon her place in the world". 2) Re: the cause of Ari I's death: " 'They' will be discussing it." 3) Justin & Jordon are in the newest book. |

I asked Carolyn tonight if Herself had been able to do *any* writing during this move. Answer: no. Herself very much misses writing; it is very hard on her when She can't. |

I do hope she can find the time to write soon. I can't say I understand entirely, but I do feel something similar, I think, when it comes to drawing/painting. If I can't draw (personal drawings, not commissioned or work related stuff) for prolonged periods, I get really antsy and uncomfortable. I haven't done a personal piece in 2 months, and it's driving me batty. |

That is most wonderful. It must be a great feeling for her. |

I don't think I'm going too far out on a limb by saying that nobody wants to read this book ASAFP more than I do. |

This is so like Wave Without a Shore, and Dhalgren. the pressure artists feel to create, and the relief you feel when you've committed your art to a permanent medium. I really want a discussion by the artists in this group of these two books! I was so struck in reading Wave Without A Shore by how much of the artist's own sense of creation is embedded in that book, and I was wondering if any of her other books involve artists creating to the same extent this one does. I am not an artist or a creator, only a consumer, so i need to hear from you all ! |

Kokipy-ji, Several thoughts, not neccessarily related: :cherryh: Many of you may already know that Herself is a gifted artist. For examples of Her work, please see Herself's website Art Gallery. :cherryh: The entire Foreigner series started with a sketch of what was eventually revealed to herself as Banichi's hands. For the :salad: who still wants to see this portrait: it is still boxed up somewhere, but now with the new house, there is hope the sketch will once again see the light of day! :cherryh: Don Maitz did the cover art for Alternate Realities. His painting for Wave without A Shore is spectacular. I love it! While IMHO the structure doesn't seem to completely match the vision Herself revealed via words -- Maitz' interpretation is still very evocative & I've spent prolonged periods of time gazing at it. |

Back to Herself's blog & Cyteen 2. Note the rapidly escalating word count! If memory serves, a typical book averages 135,000+ words.

I don't think I am going too far out on a limb by saying you may be going too far out on a limb stePH. I really really really want to read this book. I say this at some peril, not knowing for sure what ASAFP means. But I think I get the gist. My guess is it is a strong limb, big enough for many. |
