Not enormously so, because I haz a kitty, and he makes all things better. But still. I am BATTLING with this fic. And it’s really, really late, and meant for someone I both admire and like a lot, and ARGH. I AM SO CLOSE I CAN TASTE IT. But I keep forcing more words and they’re just not good words. I am okay with forcing out a few hundred words if I’ll keep them mostly the same, and I’m okay with just splurging out a thousand words that will be mostly rewritten. Forcing stuff that’s no good anyway is just the worst of both worlds.
BUT I’M SO CLOSE I CAN TASTE IT.
Also, Eastercon is happening right now and I am not there. Which is a sad. Especially since there’d be no better place to discuss Christopher Priest’s HILARIOUS epic meltdown over this year’s Arthur C. Clarke Award shortlist.
Speaking of literary snobbishness, I generally like the Guardian’s literary stuff. But OH MY GOD FUCK OFF.( cut for yelling about literary snobbishness )
SHUT UP GUARDIAN.
AND ALSO SHUT UP “GROWN-UPS SHOULDN’T READ CHILDREN’S BOOKS” GUY, BEFORE I BEAT YOU TO DEATH WITH TOM’S MIDNIGHT GARDEN. WANKER.
My rage in the face of literary snobs, it is mighty. And I am armed with the Bartmimaeus trilogy in hardback. Don’t mess.
