And away it goes!
Thursday, August 29th, 2013 10:05 amOr rather, away it went! -- on Monday, as planned. The contest-entry story is well on its way and beyond my recall, both electronically and snail-mail-ily. Getting a version in RTF without it either losing or adding formatting was every bit as horrible as I remembered from the last time I dealt with RTF, but the result is readable, at least; hopefully they will look at the hard copy for reference if the electronic one becomes relevant (i.e., if they print it).
It's amazing how quickly my brain shifts away from a story once it's marked "done" in my mind (as opposed to all the other kinds of done). I quite meant to post this when I got back from the post office (and celebratory sushi) on Monday, but somehow managed to forget all about it. It makes sense, in a way; if the writing's going well, all the words I generate go to it. It's only if the writing's going poorly that I come on here and whine. ;-) Or if I'm not writing at all; I've had a nice couple of days off, but if I've got the energy to be writing Dreamwidth posts, I should probably get back to work.
