Nice weekend around here. Jay posted the details, so I won’t repeat it all, but will only reiterate: yeah, last night was fun. And today is going to be fun too: he is in the kitchen now cooking up a storm (“a simple light lunch” is a concept that has no meaning around here…) :-), and Notorious G and her swain are arriving in a few minutes to eat up that very same storm.
This, we just realized, will be the first time I’ve tried to have four people around my table. Which should be interesting, and will definitely involve the moving of furniture.
Later this afternoon, I am finally, finally, finally going to tackle this gigantic pile of paper that is the printout of Demonhead. I’ve been busy, and distracted, sure; but there’s more to it than that. It’s the age-old problem of Start Panic. Starting a new novel, starting a new edit, a new great big anything: it’s too big! I can’t do it! Where do I even begin!?
I know the answer: you just do, and it’s fine. But still, the anxiety, the angst is there.
So, tomorrow I hope to report some progress to you. For now, I want another bite of whatever that was that Jay just brought me. It involved cheese and some kind of fried cured pork product. More, more!
