Lane von Herzen: Formal Claim

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.

Formal Claim

OIG Hotline, this is to formally claim all awards extended to me on behalf of the long term human rights of the American people. Any and all settlements that have been documented since the beginning of my complaint against the FBI and its affiliates should be designated as claimed by me at this time. Those funds should be protected against hacking, invasion, spurious claims and lawsuits, unlawful, excessive or usurious tax assessments, and appropriations based on knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting and/or false evidence.

Please inform me of appropriate next steps so that I can assist the American people most effectively.

Most sincerely,
