As I suspected would happen, work on the WIP pretty much ground to a halt the moment November ended. Averaging a thousand words a day is exhausting and I needed to recuperate. I did this by writing, on the first, a 1154-word background for an Exalted character who
lstone seems to have nicknamed Contemplating Navels.¹ Okay, not very relaxing. I also wrote a cinquenta on the third, and yesterday got back to Life with 487 words. The second of December ... I have no memory of the second. I'm not entirely convinced I haven't just got my watch set wrong, though the date of this post to
ravingtheosophy suggests I was present for that day.
I'm sort of proud of the cinquenta, which is completely inappropriate because I can only take credit for about 10% of it — not much even on a piece that's more than fifty words log. The rest of it is from something rather compelling Zeborah said on rasfc a year and a half ago in response to someone else's response to me being a smartass. Posting it here is in violation of copyright and, worse, in poor taste, but I'm not sure what else to do with it. I may have to start reading rasfc again. Anyway:

I've had this image in my mind for years, off and on: what it must be like, travelling out towards the edge of the universe. Past stars, past galaxies, past everything. And then there's only one more star ahead of you; and then you pass that, too.
There it went.
