Hah! Take that, Silverback!
Actually, that kind of goading is pretty much exactly what I need--it's why I'm keeping this thing updated on a regular basis. Having a couple of hours to work in is also a big help.
I'm more and more convinced, though, that a lot of what's coming out at the moment is really pretty bad. This thing is going to take some serious revision. I still think the basic idea is valid, but it's pretty unreadable so far.
Weather report: hailing like a Swedish platypus. Which I'm all in favor of, except that the highway down the hill is still closed, necessitating a drive all the way across the ridgeline. Think of me at 4:30am tomorrow when you turn over and go back to sleep; I'll be on the road.

Yes, but you will have SOMETHING to be revising when this is all done. And when people ask you how the writing gig is coming, you can proudly reply that you are "making revisions" to your manuscript. It's not the same as "putting the finishing touches" on the manuscript, but a pretty darn nice thing to be saying in any case.
And if your coinage of weather-related similies is any indication, those revisions will be interesting indeed. Like a Portuguese chimpanzee.

This project may have bent something in you. Something is clearly out of nominal. Funny - but bent. I guess you really should be a writer.
Now stop reading this and get back to your oar!
