After a somewhat annoying day at work, when just before leaving I discovered that a UI bug I'd closed as "as designed" had just been reopened without any explanation as to why, I settled down for some writing. 750 new words on the space opera folklore story, and the second of four scenes is done. I don't know if it's really working as a story, but I'm happy with the amount of emotion I'm managing to pack into the plot part of each of those little scenes. I'm really relying the reader's knowledge of one of the Standard SF Universes to build up the situation in each with just a few words -- if they aren't already familiar with Niven and Heinlein I'll probably lose them. Well, I'll just finish the story and let my crit group tell me whether or not it works.
Still no word on the novel. I called my agent and asked him to nudge the editor for me. I fear that no news is bad news, but I strive to be patient and optimistic...
