This has been a week of thoughts of enchantment, of sorcery, of the deepest sciences.

I discovered - should I say, rediscovered - the inspiration behind Zero Company from World of Darkness: Dogs of War, namely the First Earth Battalion. Also known as "The Men Who Stare At Goats."

I guess my beloved Zero Company got kind of set aside by skeptical WoD fans, little realising that what I called Zero COmpany is actually tame compared to the real thing.

And I am about to wrap up this week with some inspired creativity, as I return to my fantasy novel. I've finally worked out how the story moves on. It begins with a broken window and a visitor. It ends ... ah, but there's the rub. You will have to wait till I've put the story into words, and the words into a book, and the book on your screen or your bookshelf. :)

The greatest feeling, though, has been of vindication - vindication for my Zero Company, and for my chapter of Dogs of War - because the weird shit I wrote about in my book is tame in comparison to what real military forces have got up to.
