I give in
I'm doing the second draft. I know the substance of the last scene, but it just won't write, and I do know what I want to do in the second draft, so foo.
On another front, Day 6! After today, only 8 more days until I can eat fruit and grains again. But I don't pine for them. Or potatoes, either. So if I get to Day 14 and I still don't want to, I won't. But it will be an option.
Once, in a rasf* usenet group, I said: "In this great and creatorless universe, where so much beautiful has come to be out of the chance interactions of the basic properties of matter, it seems so important that we love one another"
It's all over hell and gone now, mostly on the sidebars of science blogs. It would make me proud except that when I said it, it was an illustration of how the atheist world view doesn't make for easy snippets you can force into every conversation the way that certain religious people do with God stuff. Because the sentence, if you look at it, doesn't follow or make sense. But there it is. It's not as widespread or prominent as James Nicoll's observation on the English Language, but it's apparently the mark I'm making in the world.
