#1 - Sorry for the irregular posting. I'm just frantically busy at work and usually brain-dead by the evening.

#2 - In spite of my non-religious status, I never object to a day off, so I didn't protest at being offered today off. (I might have been less thrilled, if I'd known that it was going to be cold and gray and snowy. And that I'd still have to get up at 6:00 a.m., because I'd have a netmeeting planned.)

#3 - Still. It's nice not to have to go to work. I've been lounging around, drinking coffee, and wriggling my toes for several hours. I'm about at the point where I'm ready to get my shower and go find some lunch.

#4 - Since I was up anyway, I decided to go ahead and take a quick look at...you guessed it...the SEN.

You know that math experiment you have to do in school? The one where you take a line, and cut it in half, then cut one half in half, then cut one of those halves in half, and it goes on forever?

The SEN is that line. I took a look at the 42 pages I wound up with after my last writing bout, did some editing and smoothing, took another look, and cut 15 more pages. Seems to me that I've been cutting this beast into fragments for months...and yet I never run out of SEN to cut, you know?

Today's deletions included one of the two scenes I'd decided I liked in the original mess. I may have to put it back later, but at the moment I'm fascinated by the experiment of finding out just how much this story can do without.

I can see it now, can't you? In the end, what will I have?

"Let's have sex."

I mean, yeah, that's what a PWP is all about, but still.

Today?

Writing?

Hate it.

But in a fun sort of way.
