Draft!

So at half-past midnight last night, I finished a story that's due at midnight tonight. I may have written four thousand words yesterday, which it's nice to know I can still do that. If I am to cut this story to length, I need to lose five thousand words today. Hey-ho.

Or call it a novelette and sent it somewhere else. I guess I should read it first. (For the curious, yes: this is another Mars Imperial story. Currently called "Of Mussulmans and Muscovites and Motive Force on Mars". Because I could.)
