The Thirty-First of August

 

Ratbags.

            I was going to have PEGASUS finished by the 31st of August.  Last spring when I was floundering in several million words* and had this fabulous life-saving lightning flash of creative problem-solving and decided to whack it in two and have PEGASUS I and PEGASUS IT'S NOT REALLY A SEQUEL, IT'S THE REST OF THE SAME STORY, for about six hours I knew all was well.  I could get PEGASUS MOCK I** done by the end of the summer, no problem.***

            And then the doubts started.
