So...there has been progress on the project I've code named MELF. I've got a pretty decent composition figured out. I don't know that I appreciate the current style. I need to do some research and see if there is something the I can take inspiration from. It's a thing though, and things are good right ( Read more... )

...you realize that the 6K+ words that you struggled to get written were a struggle because your brain was telling you subconsciously that there was still a lot of homework you needed to have done before you were really at a place where you should have begun writing.  Barely started and revising up the wazoo... orz
