Wild Honey, which I have basically gutted and am rewriting great chunks of, now appears to contain some form of plot and drama. Huzzah. I am slowly learning an important lesson of writing SF, ie, worry about the story first and the bloody worldbuilding second.

I think that's the third or tenth time you've said that. :D

It's the wonderful thing about a short attention span -- you keep getting that same great sense of discovery! Plus, that's the wonderful thing about a short attention span...

Love your icon! There're days when I've felt like that . . .

As I kid I had a manual typewriter - then as a teen, an IBM Selectric! It made a sound like a small power station when you switched it on, and a noise like a giant grasshopper eating something when you actually hit the keys! Magic!

Yup -- I went through the same progression, and when I showed your icon to LSR (Long-Suffering Roommate) her first comment was, "IBM Selectric!"

Kids these days, they have no idea what it was like . . . ;)

Oh, but world building is so much fun!

Lord, really? That might well explain why I've never managed to even start a standalone novel.
