Late this evening - just a short time before I normally run out of mental energy - I sat down and actually <span style="font-style: italic;">started</span> a story I've wanted to begin for two or three months. Almost no editing, that's the best part. I don't know or care if the pages are any good: they exist - finally! - and I know more will follow. Eventually I'll review, fix and most likely trash this night's work. It won't matter because the beginning is underway; it's no longer just a static pile of thoughts and notes.<br /><br />Finally the train is moving, and the scenery waiting for this journey's passage begins its unfolding.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13038194-112355576480337551?l=aardgeek.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Radioactive Jamnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13038194.post-1122582564510795362005-07-28T16:23:00.000-04:002006-11-14T11:39:54.694-05:00As in, a little more time will pass before I add anything to this space.
