Putting off writing a paper on themes in the Upanishads. Nothing like it.

Why is it that I only get productive when I have something else I'm supposed to be doing? I have already changed the bedding in my rat cage and vacuumed. Now I'm considering hanging up the posters that have been sitting in tubes for months. The walls in my room are barren, and you know what? I kind of like it. All I have up are two old Rolling Stone covers (both from 1998, coincidentally) and two postcards. It's kind of funny, really. Like the room of an ex-mental patient.

Coffee is great. I can't believe I ever lived without it.

And you are great, too.

Exactly!! I can't write on my novel unless I have dirty dishes and other things I can "put off doing." It's as if I have to create a self-imposed deadline to get my creative work done so that I can get to what really needs doing. If that makes any sense.

nice meeting you, BTW, and coffee is good. coffee is your friend. smile

Short answer: It's about 300 pages. wink

Long answer: Halfway to Babytown is about Jameson Huxley, son of the great scientist Cyrus Huxley. He's a jack of all trades living in a world of specialized careers. He's good at virtually anything, but truly great at nothing. Until he meets Shelly, a manifestation of the Canadian Wilderness. She has an oak sapling growing out of her back. A mythical Dryad, basically.

They are both bullied into the service of the EPA to legally expose Babytown, this Hospital City-State that is wrecking the natural order of the ecosystem.

It's all about educational systems and the idea that just because someone is good at something, does that mean they will be happy doing it for the rest of their lives?

Right now it's a mess, (I've backed off on the heavy SciFi and am opting for more a mythic futurism) but I shine in the rewriting.

Ok, your turn. smile
