None over the weekend, because we went to Oxford to meet up with friends. Have never been to Oxford before, is pretty, but am Philistine and prefer northern Norman alma mater. It is alma mater, after all. Anyway, too busy seeing friends to write, then too tired on Sunday evening after we got home, but have done some 850 words today and finished the sex scene. I wasn't originally going to have a sex scene in this story, but one happened anyway... I have fond hopes of finishing the first draft within a day or two, but I said that on Friday.

Am tired, to bed now.

I understand scheduling pains, and I also understand limited brainspace, but yeah, it would be lovely to meet up again at some point just to talk.


As for the SF - I'm not happy with the seeming requirement for a m/f romance subplot that most stories seem to fulfil. I want to see all kinds of stories, with all kinds of arrangements - and I want to see more characters who are just too busy and involved with their main plots to woo the girl. (Temeraire was a relief in that respect.) I want fiction to mirror the experience of my gay, lesbian, bi, poly, and happily single friends. Oh, and I want to be able to *sell* books about people who are not involved in traditional m/f romances, either.
