I was sitting down to work on this journal when, lo and behold, I get a funny e-mail from David Schow. Curses. It is absolutely impossible to write anything of any merit after reading a long e-mail from Dave Schow. So, everyone can blame him, not me, for any lameness that follows.
But if you bump into him, tell him to explain to you why he hates the Super Bowl.
Curses.
Anyway, today I finished Chapter 2 of Low Red Moon one whole day ahead of schedule.The ms. is now 66 pp. long. It has weight. Sure, Chapter 2 still needs a few nips and tucks tomorrow, but basically, it's time to move along to Chapter 3. Though I may take a much needed day off to catch up on neglected paleo' stuff, like the new baby pterosaur femur I'm working on.
And do not write me asking what a "pterosaur" or a "femur" is; that's why Al Gore invented the internet.
Anyway, thanks to Mr. Schow (curses), I will forsake Ann Radcliffe tonight and indulge in one of those idiotic surveys floating about the web:
