I've started a new regime. Namely, at 4 p.m., I get up, leave the computer, and go exercise. Weight training, yoga, pilates, whatever I've got. Because I never get anything done between about 4 and 5:30 anyway, and darn it all, I need to get this body in better shape.

And now that I've told y'all about it, hopefully this will add to my incentive to stick with it.

Proceeding not real fast with Kekropia, working on a new short story that doesn't want to show me its shape, wiring together another draft of Mare's Nest. Work is good.

Dreamed last night that coffee_and_ink and I were co-editing a book about comic book heroes, and somehow I'd gotten stuck writing the two original stories (one Batman, one Superman) we were sticking in an appendix in the back. "But I don't even like Superman!" I wailed. "That's why you're perfect for this," said M., unanswerably.

As my hair gets longer and the weather gets colder, my resemblance to Carroll's White Queen increases. I would probably do well to have Alice (or Harriet Vane) to attend to my hairpins.

I've started a new regime.

Which lends a whole new meaning to 'regime change begins at home.' Go you! Good luck!

Clearly the anthology's mandate was to offer a revisionist take on superheroes, much under the influence of Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns.
