Okay, so I’m finally working on the Optimistic Science Fiction Short Story I promised somebody. It’s showing alarming signs of being another story that’s basically a series of conversations. Nothing is going to go boom, that’s for sure.
At least these folks aren’t sitting around talking in a bar, like in at least two other stories of mine. Oh, no, wait, that’s not true. There is a bit in a bar, but it’s a restaurant bar, and I’m hoping to get the protagonist and his Friend With A Mysterious Agenda out of it straightaway. They’re waiting for the friend’s boss to show up, so they can go have a schmancy dinner.
Of course, they’ll never get out of the bar if I don’t stop looking for distractions. Suck it up, Andrew, and write the goddamn story already.

Write! Write! Write! Perhaps if you simply think of it as a very long blog entry…
