Lane von Herzen: UPDATE: Scheduled Plumber

My Third Novel's Conclusion, My Heartbreak

My heart begins to break when I think about completing this particular book -- because this narrative has sustained me like no other story I've known. It's both more personal and more universal than my other works. But beyond memory and archetype, it's a cri-de-coeur about needing to become the person one is destined to be. And in the writing, I have met my own life's work, my own fated journey -- having the sense all the while that the pages are suffused with a resonance, an energy, an electrified field that defies explanation. Writers hope and pray to be overtaken by a work in this way -- to be conscripted into passionate service of a profound story. To experience it even once in a lifetime seems a great privilege. I still have several months before this novel is complete, and this constitutes my reprieve. Because I'm not ready for the beauty to end.

UPDATE: Scheduled Plumber

UPDATE: This plumber's visit appears to have been successful.

I will be providing a new affidavit confirming these details.

Most sincerely,

Lane MacWilliams

*************************************************************************

OIG Hotline, my husband has scheduled a plumber from Roto Rooter of 220 Demeter Street in East Palo Alto to come to our home this evening to address the flooding issue.

I am concerned about the potential for FBI affiliates to co-opt this visit into an opportunity for harm, not least through falsified law enforcement reporting.

The plumber scheduled to arrive has been identified as "Mr. Wilder."

I will be updating this blog following this plumber's visit.

I appreciate your efforts on behalf of my family's safety.

Most sincerely,
