3,064 words ahead of schedule. I really can't complain as today I was on gardening duty then hit something on the way to the municipal dump and probably damaged the oil-sump (it started leaking, I had to dump it at a garage, ring for a lift home.)


But HEY, I sat reading a Bloodaxe Poetry Collection "Staying Alive", sitting in the sun, sipping Blueberry Ribena.

My story? It's very rare that I can't peg EXACTLY how good or bad a story is, even my own, but this one came with "the wrong voice" or something and I thought yesterday it was complete, but it nagged, nagged, nagged at me.

In my mind it was telly, cold, and (for me) quite poor, but when I read it I could feel an ache. Those two facts should not go together. I almost never change a story (edit/tinker but CHANGE, not me) but this one needed surgery, something I just don't do.

But I did.

It will be interesting to look at this one and how it does.
