Three quick things

[aadler]

 
First: I was right. I was informed today that I’ll be in charge of my detachment while we prepare for this year’s mobilization to Iraq. That almost certainly will change between now and departure, but meanwhile I’d better brace myself for heavy responsibility.

Second: last night I keyed in the most recent chapter I’ve done on “Queen’s Gambit” (as I’ve mentioned several times, I compose in longhand), and it ran over 6,000 words. I have over a dozen complete stories on my home site that are shorter than that single chapter. This fic is turning into a monster.

Third: when Susan and I were in Amsterdam, the city guide (provided for us by the nursing conference she was attending) had over eighteen pages of ads for ‘escorts’. Though they didn’t come right out and say this was prostitution, the ads were less coy than the kind we see in the U.S. The thing is, one of them had a price quote that read “€100 hotel, €125 airport”. So, can anybody tell me exactly HOW these enterprising young women go about performing their services in an airport?

Inquiring minds want to know.

You'll do fine -- anyone who can write a long fic has mad organizational skills.

I write on my own schedule, with (as you can see) varying results in terms of how long it takes me to finish something. This is a whole ’nother venue. But thanks for the encouragement.

It is true that setting your own schedule is a whole different animal ... that's part of why I haven't written much fanfic, lately.
