I am hugely relieved to have put the short story off until the end of the month. I’ve got almost 10K written on it, but it’s just not gelling yet, and there’s a long way to go before it’s done.

Getting off the train, we discovered we were walking alongside Brian S. from P-Con, to whom I said, “Brian. Brian!
