Ambling
OoNs are sort of preambles that hope the reader will start ambling.
They’re like the Yellow Pages that spare you from any other effort than just to let your fingers do the walking. If they’re any good at all, they provoke thought, they plant a seed, catch your attention so that you can take it from there and do as you damn well please.
Maybe they’ll further the exploration of your own ideas. From the looks of the responses, some of you amble, others, mayhaps, right over to the delete key.
Housekeeping note: Covenant, the wonder journal and wellspring of OoN, is this month in its 20th edition. You may access it at as it appears in the flesh, Adobe-like, or just in plain and-so-it-goes text. Try www.covpubs.org. If you prefer hard copy, just ask and send your snailmail address.
