Writing Diary: August 19 20, 2004
A belated writing diary for Thursday and Friday. Both days, worked on Science Centre project; Thursday, accomplished little, Friday, finally got a handle on it and at least outlined it (“it” being a comic-strip script pertaining to sustainable communities) to the end; now I just have to finish fleshing it out.

br /Both days also saw some progress on fiction. After starting on Wednesday to rewrite Assignment: Avalon, I had a change of heart and decided it would be far better to try to finish Razor Wind, and so that is my current project. The darn thing has been stalled for years, and that’s annoying since Anne Leslie Groell at Bantam actually expressed some interest in the idea back in…let’s see…1994? Something like that…
br /
br /Anyway, I’m on it now, and this time, darn it, I’m going to finish it.
br /
br /I’ve got all kinds of other fiction projects bubbling in my head; enough to keep me busy for years. So I’d best keep plugging away!
