I thought today was an off-day, but I was wrong: it is in fact a day off. Tho' I might write something later.

This morning, I have just been reading. The last thing I read was my e-mails, including the highly satisfactory news that I've just sold another short-short SF story to Nature magazine. I can still count my SF stories on one hand, but only just - "the fingers of one hand" no longer applies, I need the thumb as well - and I've sold them all. *is a srs SF writer*

Now I'm going out into the sunnyshine, and I shall walk down to the pub; where I will meet m'friend Harry and do drinking, and then we shall eat Vietnamese fudz for lunch.

After that, who knows? Might write something. Might read something else. Might go on drinking. Any or all of the above.

Tempting. :) But today has been particularly bad on the writing front, and I'm in one of those "pack it all in and give up" moods.
