Catching Up
It's all Jason Lundberg's fault. At least, that's the excuse I'm sticking to today.
It's been a busy few days and I've gotten off track slightly. We went to Blaine over the weekend for a wedding and our (gasp!) first night away from Solomon since he was born. We've both been individually away overnight, but this was the first time we were both out of sight. The little dude survived (Grandparents were in town for his sleepover) and we managed to not freak out completely while we were gone.
No writing over the weekend though. I needed a break from the laptop and it was nice to not think about a damn thing other than hanging out with my wife for 48 hours. De-fucking-lightful. However, things (as they do) pile up. I'm behind on Ex Loc stories and (this is the part where Lundberg gets blamed) I have to admit that "Favonian" was kind of spontaneously eructated. Just to get it done. It's a cheap knockoff of the opening paragraph of "Chance Island". I didn't know "favonian" a few weeks ago or I would have used it there. So, yeah, call this a homage to the beginning of that story. I had really meant to do something with Mistral, but -- as always -- the words get away.
Speaking of things getting out of hand, I should be working on a rewrite of "MNSF" this week, but "TDTAD" wanted to be written. 7000 words that couldn't just wait in line. Bastards. Each and every one of them.
"M:EULA" -- "Memory: The End User License Agreement" -- went into the mail yesterday. I'm officially back in circulation. It's been way too long.
