Do I feel better than I felt yesterday? I think it's too early to tell. My eyes are hardly open.
I wrote 1,235 words on "Mercury" yesterday. No one was more surprised than I. Far as I could tell, the day was destined to be a waste. Now, I may be able to finish the piece today. By the way, the short story will be included as a chapbook with every copy of Low Red Moon purchased from Subterranean Press. Earlier, I may have said that it would only be offered with the lettered state. If so, I was wrong. And relievedly so. Nothing sucks quite as much as writing a short story for 26 (or 52) people. Well, I suppose writing a short story for only 10 people would suck even more, and so on. Also, I'll be doing the cover for this chapbook, as I did for "On the Road to Jefferson."
A few thank yous. Thanks to Jaimi, for the e-mail. Thanks to Don (Sa'jathan) for the copy of Endless Nights. Thanks to Jada — who lives in Arkansas now — for the Halloween card. Thanks to Mouse for the apology (though I'm still not sure exactly what he was apologizing for). And thanks to Larne (Llar'en) for introducing me to MojoWorld, which might become a serious addiction and add a whole new dimension to Nebari.Net.
And to Robin (Mella), I hope that you're feeling much, much better very, very soon and can be quickly reunited with your ferrets.
Last night, Spooky and I kinda gorged on the idiot box. First, I watched Enterprise. Just when I'd begun to have some vague hope that this series might amount to something, it spits up "The Shipment," an episode so dull it would have put a Xindi sloth to sleep. Fortunately, the new ep of Angel more than made up for it. And then, since the postman brought me Season Three of Farscape on DVD yesterday, we watched "Season of Death" (3:1) and "Suns and Lovers" (3:2).
And have I mentioned Android Lust's brilliant The Dividing? I haven't felt this strongly about a band in quite some time. Check out the website. Buy the CD. Unless you're a dumb ass, you won't be sorry.
Now I will go try to finish this story . . .
