Just two pages on Bast: Eternity Game today. It should be finished on Thursday. Also, Jennifer and I proofread the final galleys for the Meisha Merlin edition of Tales of Pain and Wonder.
Oh, and I did another interview today. It was one of my "grumpy" interviews. They seem to fall into two categories, my interviews, "grumpy" and "cautiously enthusiastic." Today was definitely a "grumpy." And it's been in the back of my mind all day, that I was so belligerent in the interview and that I spend so much time in here bitching about how much I dislike writing, when, maybe, it isn't actually the writing that I dislike.
Maybe it's why I write, why I am a writer, that is the root of my discontent.
And thinking that, I sat down at my desk to write something in this damned Blogger thing that would be true. And I told myself, hey, you can always erase it in the morning, when you wake up and realize you shouldn't have written that stuff down for all the world to see, when you come to your senses, you can just erase it. Easy as that. But I'm not even going to get that far.
"Twinkle, twinkle, little bat."
Remember, honesty is the enemy of fiction and should be avoided at all costs.
Trust me. I'm a professional.
