Okay, my latest story has now been posted. (I got tired of waiting to hear back from [livejournal.com profile] sroni. Yes, I’m annoyed.) And I’m working on another, which I’ve been looking forward to even though it’s a fairly recent idea.

The thing about driving? It doesn’t really feel like work to me, but it takes up a lot of time. Even though I have plenty of opportunity to think — about story ideas and other things — by the end of the day I’m lucky to have more than an hour or so to do anything before I have to go to bed. (You don’t skimp on sleep when you spend most of your waking time piloting forty tons of metal down the highway.) I actually had more time on deployment; even if I worked more, I could grab spare moments here and there, and as a driver that’s just nearly impossible.

BTW, for those persons familiar with the term “lot lizard”? I had one approach me at a truck stop in Alabama. Startled the heck out of me, and I responded very abruptly (though I believe I fell short of actual rudeness). And afterward, all I could think was: I just turned down sex with a woman. Have I ever done that before?

I was very happy at seeing the announcement that RemixRedux would be back this year. I do wonder how well I’ll do at it, though, given the time strictures I just described.

And now, it’s just about time for bed again.

(Mind you, some of these go back more than a year.)

  • A man in a Santa suit on a red motorcycle in Texas
  • Seagulls clustering around spilled grain at a feed mill in Missouri
  • A pile of walnut hulls 20 feet high and 150 feet long in California
  • An Arkansas town with a listed population of 12,345
  • A water tower in South Carolina shaped like a giant peach

That’s all I remember at the moment. More as I see/recall it.

Snowed in at a truck stop in Utah. Most recent fic completed, but don’t know when I’ll be able to post it.
