Another week of disorder under heaven

In this case caused by, let’s see:
•My car overheating, which forced me to rearrange one appointment and hitch a lift from TYG for the other (thanks, honey!). Thursday they confirmed the engine is not long for this world; we’re going to start looking for a replacement car rather than replace the engine. My Mustang is old, and much else could go wrong if we get this fixed (transmission, axle bearings, who knows?).
•Time for appointments.
•Some problems w/the eHow system today which ate some assignments (they’re working on resurrecting them).
And some disorder caused by my own problems: I just could not seem to pull my election article for Raleigh Public Record together. It took me far too long and ate into other time. I must do better with the next one.
All of which scattered my thoughts enough that I couldn’t focus on short stories. So I turned to Impossible Takes a Little Longer, and I’m now probably 80 percent through the draft. Unfortunately, I can now see why it hasn’t sold yet: I thought I’d fleshed out my scenes and setting but everything was appallingly sparse or sometimes completely undescribed. Now it’s actually located somewhere, making for a much better read.
Good enough to sell? Guess we’ll find out next year.
