julesjonesFeeling much better today, although I've started the lingering cough that always seems to turn up just as the infection dies down. Even walked down to the post office to post a zine order, which is the first time in a week that I've been able to face walking that far.
500 words on Saturday and then again on Sunday, with 1300 tonight. This was partly because I wasn't feeling that great, but partly because I've hit a bit of a block. I took a break from it today, and wrote up the review of Neutron Star (which I finished reading last week, but didn't review immediately because I was too fuzzy), printed off the zine and took it down to the post office, and then sat down and finished reading Modesty Blaise before writing the review for that. All very slow, but it seems to have done some good because I got past the immediate block. We'll see how things go tomorrow.
Not sure what to start reading next--I'd got part way through my re-read of Singularity Sky, then dropped it because of a previous bout of not feeling that great, and picked up Neutron Star because it was short stories and easier to handle. And then my parcel from Amazon arrived with a couple of Modesty Blaise books and a Wycliffe... Might tackle the Wycliffe next, as it's one I've read before and won't be too taxing.
Must also think about reviewing the Gutenberg downloads of Around the World In Eighty Days and The Jungle Book, which have been keeping me amused on public transport of late. And load some fresh Gutenberg loot into the Palm. I find that sitting on local public transport is the one place where I do find ebooks useable -- I'm reading in short enough bursts that it doesn't cause the physical problems that normally put me off reading ebooks.
