+%title Middle Notes (working title)
+:writing:fiction:
+
+Idea: The terror of a sudden addition of a new, unknowable sense.
+
+Story of a blind-from-birth character in a solipsist world, only one, makes incense and lives a life of prayer, foraging and fishing. Some animal - marten, maybe? "He sat in the sun and was greatly warmed, and by this he had always surmised that his fur was of a particular quality that the sun was drawn to, for there were parts of his surroundings that rejected and repelled the sun." Spend at least a few thousand words on day to day life and small challenges.
+
+Conflict: a fae character (presence?) gives him sight - the narrator? "I gave him sight"? That makes the opening a series of observances.
+
+Target length: 30-40k words
+
