desperanceIf you had told me, when I rose this morning, that I would write two thousand words on Steampunk!Mars before we went to SETI for an evening talk, I would have been delighted.
You should have told me, damn it, that it would be two thousand words of the Wrong Book. I am not supposed to be writing Wimsey fanfic, no. I am supposed to be writing YA adventure. Le sigh.
Still. We're off to SETI, where the guy who runs the Kepler Mission is going to talk to us, about that and about Tatooine. I was all set to make that my clever question, to show how clever and up-to-date I was, how very tuned in - but then we got an e-mail from SETI this morning, saying that he would of course address this very issue. Le other sigh.
But hey. 2000 words. And I'm really enjoying it (obviously). Even if it does no more than concrete my thinking (again), it's still worth it. And, y'know. Wimsey fanfic. I have never written fanfic in my life, but this is fun. Steampunk fanfic! Never mind photography, his valet Herver has mechanical eyes...
