what aren't you telling us?

171 / 350

So close to (approximately, sort of) halfway! We'll... see how this all works out, I guess. So far it's going all right, I have kind of an idea of at least what's happening right now, but we'll see how long I can keep it up.

I wrote to 169 this morning, and then worked on that short story I plotted the other day, and only came back to write the last couple of pages this evening.

The short story has about 1,400 words on a first draft now, though about half of that's cribbed from the other beginning I made on it before. It felt good to work on something else, something new (well, in relative terms).

I may have mentioned it's far-future SF? Part of the way through working on it, I ran across a link to this without any indication as to what it was. I think I spent a good ten minutes staring at it, just... well, just staring. Boggling, really.

After I could think again, I downloaded a copy--see here for different versions--and stuck it in the References folder for the short story. And I snagged the huge version to stare at, high-resolution, filling my whole screen.

Space. There's a whole lot of it.


(Also I read The Demon's Lexicon but I will write about that tomorrow.)
