desperanceHmmph. Things have come to a pretty pass - a pretty pass, I say! - when a man must leave his work no more than just-done, the minimum achieved, in order to come home and work on something else. When was I wont to be so industrious...?
But the thing is, memory: it's a brute. This week, I have remembered (just too late) that I was supposed to contribute to a questionnaire about writing SF & fantasy; and (just in time) (possibly) that I was supposed to deliver a vampire story for consideration. I have completed the questionnaire, and sneaked in by raising the wire; these last two days I have written my required quota of novel at the library and then come home to tackle the prospect of a new story. With, um, added wine. I am drinking foolishly too much, but, y'know. If it buys me a story, it must be worth it, right? Three days to go, and I think tomorrow I must forgo the novel, if I'm to get this story done. Nothing's actually happened yet, damn it, tho' the introductory persiflage is adorable...
