The whiny story of slogging through writing my first novel.

This and That

A little of this, a little of that. Got some typing done to help save the scribbling, did a few words. I was into doing it, but it was busy all day. Same problem today. How is it that when Cheryl is gone I can't get any writing done because hordes of helpless people descend on my desk?

Got an interesting idea yesterday about a CGUS story, and expanded on it a bit today. I'm thinking of a story set in the Beta Colony (Bcol), of a module collector who rents the original AcolMod (A Colony Module) to a film making company who wants to do a movie about the stowaway. Of course, they have no interest in making it historically accurate (re: Oliver Stone), and then they find out the mod is WAY too small to work on, and it's falling apart from - essentially - radiation poisoning.

Hmmm....what kind of real or imagined conspiracy can be gotten from the stowaway? I need to let this one simmer longer.

Oh, and it occured to me that NAFTA and the Cerian Problem have a lot in common. Back to jstor.com to get a couple of articles. *grin* Why is the research the best part?
