Lane von Herzen: Update

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

OIG Hotline, I just received two calls from 1 (669) 212-0836.

Between these two calls, I attempted to dial the number back, thinking it was Chris Glass from Fish Window Cleaning, who is currently late to my home.

I recorded my answer of the second call, asking several times if Chris Glass was on the other end of the line, and there was no reply.

I will be forwarding this recording to the OIG Hotline.

The main event this morning so far pertains to the fact that van belonging to Fish Window Cleaning was rear-ended en route to my house. Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt. Initially the back doors of the vehicle were crushed to the extent that the ladders could not be removed. However, Chris Glass persevered and is now at my home, working on windows.

Was this a staged vehicle crash?

There appeared to be an allegation on my cell phone that this was so.

That said, I am grateful for Mr. Glass' positive attitude in traveling to my home despite the accident.

I will be updating your Office with new developments.

Most sincerely,
