Still breaking a habit
This weekend, it's extra hard.
But some of that is because I still have an illusion that I can scream about my NaNoWriMo and anyone would care. I'm having trouble getting words in, but I am super excited about Cain in this story! He's so menacing.
Side note: Cain's sisters were never part of the religious folklore of my childhood. I mean, obvs the creation story wasn't history, so I never asked who Cain and Abel made babies with. Well, it turns out that some versions say that Adam & Eve's kids were born in twin sets (the twin sisters being their intended wives). This reminds me of Aristophane's concept that humans were split in half to become male and female. Well, and Hedwig and the Angry Itch's "Origin of Love."
Cain's wife, the oldest sister, has several names, too, though I like "Awan," which has an epic fantasy sound. And according to Wikipedia (ahem), some stories say Enoch & his line are the sons of Cain, some say Seth.
