I made a few motions as if I was going to get some physical work done today, but with a bright sun it was hot. Instead, I worked on my new story, “Not Quite Dark,” and edited Naked in the Road and Lost in the Tunnels.
I am getting concerned about the “Not Quite Dark” story. It is now at ten thousand words and it might go much further. I am thinking to let it spread into the novella it wants to be. I’ll have to see where it naturally ends before I can assess whether it’s worth reading. It is another adoption story, although in this case in post-apocalyptic Toronto.
I have another zucchini in the yard I should have eaten today, for by the time I get back it will likely be huge. Maybe I’ll take it with me for Mike and Carol or to cook in the city.
