I have absolutely nothing to report, except that I may be writing an unexpected long short story, or maybe even a novella in the next month or two. I have the planning papers up on the back of my door (I have entirely run out of butchers' paper and am using A4 and it just feels wrong).
I'm still getting over whatever it is I've had. It's been very good for catching up on DVD viewing and I have now seen Season 1 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. It's not been so good for work and I shall be focussed very concretely just as soon as. I've not done nothing (for my life really doesn't permit of that) but I've certainly had relative time out.
I was a bit lucky in that the virus (which was definitely virus-lite) came when I was (and still am) waiting for major returns of things from various sources. My big task of the weekend is writing a serious introduction to a serious volume and that requires serious thinking, which can be done while lolling.
It's all about the thinking this month, rather than producing vast numbers of words. I expected things to be all about editing, but the editing tasks keep being pushed and pushed and will all hit at once and I shall mourn my lolling and DVDing and do 16 hour days to make up. This is my normal life.
My year would be better with butchers' paper. And that permanent job I so yearn for. But right now, if one is going to get ill over summer, this is the virus to get. It's just like a summer holiday... I say this because I really am over the virus. And we have no bushfires and the weather is rather lovely and springlike and all in the 20s. The peripherals (weather, fires) won't endure, but it's magic while it lasts.
