Well, I've finished one assignment (in five million) and by tomorrow I should have one more (in five million) halfway completed. I've also some notion where my fantasy story will go. It came to me last night as I was drifting off to sleep, which is pretty typical, and despite waking this morning with the conviction that it was all ridiculous, also quite typical, I think it'll work. It may even be sufficiently swashbuckling and magickal for Sword and Sorceress. Apparently my mind has been lying fallow all these years, growing rich in ideas as it waited for me to finally---*finally*---stretch my creativity down for nourishment.
