still awaiting that keyboard. but plotted out the new bren book…

…i have spent some weeks working on the short stories i promised for the heroes in hell project and the poul anderson project. [with a lame keyboard. occasionally it gets important enough to use the righthand shift, but my hand just is not trained for that, so i shall be e.e. cummings today.]

both those projects were painfully slow.

i sat down to do the outline for the next bren book, and it just fell into place in five minutes.

that kinda tells you where my head has been at and why the last two projects went slowly.

i also have a new contract in the works—of course i actually have to write the books—but in today's market, that's a great thing.

so happy un-birthday to you all; i'm at work on the new book.
