So I&#039;m going to knuckles down and keep at it, and hopefully be finished with it by next Monday, and ready to start the final draft.<br />Well, I say final; after it&#039;s done, I&#039;m going to be sending it out to a few people who I trust to cut it to pieces, and following that, I&#039;m sure there will be more work to do.<br />Ho-him.<br />It&#039;s coming along.<br />I&#039;ve also recently found out my brother reads this blog, and regards ownership of a personal website as &#039;walking the fine edge of twattery.&#039;<br />But then, he regards ownership of personal deodorant as twattery, so screw him!

And then of course, ym vastly reduced rent at Plymouth Road taken into account, and the bond that is (allegedly) going to be returned to me from Duke Street, and January should be a pleasingly replete month.<br />For tonight, however, I&#039;m going to take advantage of my nicely expanded floor space, get out all my little index cards and get the novel planning back on track. I&#039;m now at fifty-thousand words and have not yet introduced the villain. this should not be.<br />Ho-hum. Sing ho for the life of a bear.<br />TTFN<br />Sam B]]></content>
