Including Woody Allen.

So I got 1000 words done on the new story on like SATURDAY and then I polished and trimmed and sanded down that bit and kicked it and yelled encouraging things at it, like "Stop being phony, you limp wristed pantywaist prose!"

And then Jer (he who is the mighty big head at the Fortean Bureau) and Charlie (whom I love! Campbell Finalist! Vote Finlay!) were talking to me in the morning and Jer said, "mail it to someone for safekeeping and then delete it."

I laughed. I went to work. and then I came home....

Tinker polish tinker comma decomma cut paste rewrite shoehorn tinker.

and I said ARGH! and then mailed it to Kat and Leah and Celia and Bear and Hannah and Lisa for safekeeping and deleted the bloody thing off my machine.

An hour later I had 500 new words.

Brain damage! Personality disorders! Writers are CRAZY!
