I have beaten that story with shovels for an entire year and it's still a compost heap of ideas and half good, half bad sections. Still, endeavour to persevere and all that. Be thankful you are not poor Elimare, witness to all the dull, boring and turgid bits. Trust me, there is nothing to be jealous about.

And I'm glad to hear you're reading Annie's stuff. You're right--she's quite the writer, and I kept persuading her to try a real buke out of her experiences in the states. Not sure how the stuff I did would "play" on a blog, but I'll see if I can dig up something proper. And for '09? We keep making merry, and I'm going to try my hand at an actual book, which will be a major project of my trip over there in March. Oh yeah, and we'll drink stuff.

I expect glittering wonders. Thanks for the kind words! 2009 will be a year of grand phase-changes and transformations for us all, I know it. I expect glittering wonders.

The same thing we make every year, Pinky. Much thanks for the multiple-link love. With my slipping into the habit of writing long-ass posts I reckoned most people had given up reading.
