The Professor!

[oloriel]

It's almost 9 pm on January 3rd*. I have a glass of cider, and I have completed Chapter 18 of Golden Days². I have even managed to put two footnotes into a really short LJ post. That fully qualifies me for taking part in the birthday toast!

So, To the Professor, and to a good fannish year.

²It's ridiculous. When I look back at the original outline for Golden Days, it was supposed to have seven chapters. Now I've written the first lines of Chapter 19 and nothing is where it was meant to be. These characters just do what they want, man.

My experience of writing novels is that it's like driving cross-country after dark. You kind of have a general idea where you're going, but can only actually see as far as your headlights illuminate.

Yes, that's it! And nothing's ever going to be as close as it looked on the map, and short cuts regularly turn out to be dead ends.
