For the past three days, I've been stuck in a hotel in Jersey City, sitting at the "information" desk for my company as I directed people to meeting rooms. Mostly I stared at the walls.

I also spent some time working out a new synopsis for the first story I wrote at Clarion - the flash short "Blackberry Sweet". Working off the critique that Michael Swanwick gave me, I've managed to plot out something considerably better, but as usual, something considerably longer. It'll end up being a novelette or novella. However, now that my routine is more or less back to normal, I'm going to set it aside and start work on the Tacoma Steampunk novella again. "Blackberry Sweet" can wait until sometime in mid-07 for a rewrite.

Now I must find coffee, and clothes. In exactly that order. :)
