Gah. I'm back. Stuff on my plate:
1. There's too much stuff I haven't read. I'm in the middle of a collection of creepy suspense stories, and I've got Roger Zelazny's first Amber series to read. Not to mention, I found I inadvertently found that a science fiction collection I'd bought a while back had "The Stars My Destination" in it, saving me the seven dollars that it would have cost me to buy it new. It also has a couple of other novels in it, but I forget what...
2. I got overwhelmed with the plotting to this thing I was working on. Yesterday, I finally said "screw this", dumped all the outlining plotting I did before and started from scratch. I'm farther in my outlining now than I ever was after six months of it.
Quote of the moment:
"Mr. Bons screamed, "I see no one. I see nothing. I want to go back." Then he cried to the driver, "Save me! Let me stop in your chariot. I have honored you. I have quoted you. I have bound you in vellum. Take me back to my world."
The driver replied, "I am the means and not the end. I am the food and not the life. Stand by yourself, as that boy has stood. I cannot save you. For poetry is a spirit; and they that would worship it must worship in spirit and truth.""--E.M.Forster, "The Celestial Omnibus"
