If Anyone Wants Me I'll Be On The Golf Course

[poliphilo]

Guess what? I seem to be running out of opinions. When I started this LJ I was bubbling over with things I needed to say , now I'm reduced to writing about football and rabbits.

I've made my position clear on the leading issues of the day:

Bush- hate him
Blair- hate him
God- doesn't exist
Jacobean revenge drama- cool 

And I hate to repeat myself.

I'm not going away- and I'm certainly not deleting- but I may not be putting in an appearance here quite as often as I used to.

On a positive note, I've been beavering away at Purchas #3 and expect to start posting it at purchas in a week or two.

Your previous commenters have already said all the sensible things I might have said myself about posting to your journal. I'm kind of quiet on my own LJ these days - I guess it's just slipped down my priority list a little, but that's OK, and it's still here to write in when I want to.

Anyway, I look forward very much to the next installment of Purchas.

I feel I need a rest.

The new Purchas novel is about 40,000 words long- and counting. I want to finish the first draft before I begin posting.

Am I right in thinking that makes it the longest so far? I think you're right about the first draft policy, anyway.

Actually no- at least, not yet. The first is just over 50,000 and the second just under.

The first was a white knuckle ride. I don't think I could do that again.
