list-making, again
Dec. 8th, 2004 09:52 amToday:
1.) edit Mare's Nest--and to a better standard than the current, which is to bracket off all the bits I don't like as if I could quarantine them from the rest of the story.
2.) start reading/editing the two chapters of Kekropia I printed out last night before I ran out of paper. Rereading the draft thus far is the only thing I can think of to maybe cut the Shelobian web that has me stuck, stuck like a hobbit without a sword, in Chapter Nine.
3.) Make bread.
4.) The Desk. (I feel on this one like I'm starting to slide from our common usage of slothfulness to the medieval Catholic cardinal sin of Sloth. Because, yes, I am beginning to despair that I will ever be able to deal with the post-industrial-decay chaos (rather than primeval chaos, because primeval chaos you can hang around a millennium or two and it'll sort itself out. This is entropic chaos, and that's much much worse. ... Where was I?) that is the State of the Desk. Aieee.
This four item list may itself be a little grandiose, so I'm stopping now.
