That's me in the corner...
That's me in the spotlight, losing my religion
Trying to keep a view
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much...
I've said enough.
I'll post a link as soon as it's live, but for the curious:

Very little in the way of new writing. Ideas are there, none of them are ready to birth. Edits I made to a piece called The Song of the Earth don't seem to have made it to any of the versions I have anywhere, so I had to hack them back in, and hope that I can send them off to someone to read soon. First draft on Let There be Rock is done and awaiting me sending it out to people to look over and hack to death. The trilogy of 4 stories (yes, you read that right) is still sitting there, gestating. I know the form of Blue Queen to Gallifrey Three, and I know the form of The Carcosan Gambit (hell, I have 6,700 words of that one written already!), and I know the form of Adjournment. I know what I want to have happen in what is essentially the vorabend to the trilogy...but emotional stressors...and quite honestly, my own tiredness and unwellness...are keeping me from it. And it kills me inside.
What's madness but nobility of soul
At odds with circumstance? The day's on fire!
I know the purity of pure despair,
My shadow pinned against a sweating wall,
That place among the rocks--is it a cave,
Or winding path? The edge is what I have.
In a Dark Time
