I sit here waiting for the last minutes to tick away before I get the stuff removed from my face. I managed to write 974 words last night, despite my malaise and discomfort. I finished the story I had in progress. I proofed it this morning and mailed it off to F&SF. I’ve got about 4000 words to hit my goal of 100K for the year. With two weeks left in the year, it should be pretty easy to hit that goal.
