Can’t blog. Writing.

I’ve decid­ed to enter a non-fic­tion con­test, and I have to have the sto­ry in the mail by Nov. 1^st, so I’m kind of up against a dead­line. The theme of the con­test is “A Mem­o­rable Voy­age”; my entry, in about its sec­ond draft, is here. You’ll need a pass­word, too: it’s win­nipego­sis. Read it, if you’d like; let me know what you think. (It’s short, only about 1100 words.)

I fin­ished Last Light of the Sun last night. It was enjoy­able, well-researched, and some­thing that I don’t nor­mal­ly read. As a fan­ta­sy it was very low-key; as a his­tor­i­cal nov­el it was heav­i­ly fic­tion­al­ized; as an out-and-out sto­ry that hap­pened to be set 1,000 years ago, it was excel­lent. Gabriele, I seem to remem­ber that you were read­ing it. Do you have any com­ments on it? Did you fin­ish? Did you enjoy it?Later, y’all!
