I've started a new story.
And I'm already leaving "Oh, god, fix this" notes to myself in it.
*repeats mantra* It's a first draft, it's allowed to suck. It's a first draft, it's allowed to suck. And since this is me, it's more of a "vague outline." But I digress.
Hopefully, this thing will practically write itself--I'd like to be able to give it to my Writing Buddy on Saturday. And since it's another one starring my intrepid spaceship crew, at least I know the characters, so I'm not going to be flailing around inventing them. The ghosts are another matter, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
HOWEVER. I did enough extra work today that tomorrow is a day off. I have a 40% off coupon for Borders, which I will probably invest in a John Joseph Adams anthology (either the vampire one or the apocalypse one, not sure which). And then I will sit in their coffee shop with a coffee milkshake and a pastry and write. The change of scenery will do me good.
In other news, I'm pretty sure I saw a vole when mowing my lawn today. It was cute, and as long as it stays outside, I'm fine with it. Also, I forgot to eat today, and now it's too late.
