x-posted in part from my regular journal, ’cause I think a bunch of the writers I know don’t subscribe to the , and I’m curious to see what people say. I’m on the downward end of this book. I wonder how other novelists I know feel when they finish writing a book. I seem to recall a lot of triumph when I finished my first one, and being pretty pleased when I finished my second, especially as I’d given myself a deadline and stuck to it. I was astonished and…

ah, the glamorous life
Ah, the glamorous life of a full-time writer. I was working yesterday and Chanti wanted out, so I got up and put her out. Two minutes later she wanted in, so I got up and brought her in.

Oh! We saw the Serenity trailer…
