Among other things, one of my general goals is to have an installment be in the 3000-5000 word range. A few are less, a couple have been significantly more. PS: New Year’s Eve was originally over 11,000 before it got split in half a year ago. That’s just a little much for one sitting.
After a lot of back and forth I’ve gone with my original idea. The alternative route wasn’t really panning out as I got further into it, but it did help me to find a better flow for this particular path.
In other news, I’m still not happy with where the next bit of TF is sitting, and I haven’t even looked at New Year’s Eve Part 2. It’s going to be a busy week next week, and I doubt I’ll have much time to work on anything again. The next deadline I’m setting for myself is February 5th, two weeks from today.

On this, the first day of the second week of 2010, I continue to protest the lack of a personal jetpack on the consumer market.
TF’s been delayed for a couple of weeks now, mainly since I can’t seem to get Temporal Soup for the Soul to flow as entirely well as I’d like. I’ve been struggling to improve it but it’s just not getting any better (and, admittedly, I’ve posted far worse). So! There it is. Love it, hate it, do what you will.
I had the next portion of PS queued up and ready to go along side of Temporal Soup. Then, as happens, I saw something completely random on TV (which I have since forgotten, but I think it was an advert) and it gave me an idea which I have been exploring. Now I have to decide whether to stick with my original plan, or go with the new route.
Gaaah, choices.

I’m going to run a little past my original target dates for this next segment, but it can’t be avoided. PS: Grandfather’s Vigil continues from the events of the Christmas Party.
Happy New Year!

Day 5, the ending to our little interlude with the Evanson family, has arrived.
Hope everyone had a nice holiday. Mine was spent making nearly 4 gallons of wonderful soup, then only having half of the expected level of attendance. Anyone want a quart or eight of knephla soup? I daresay it’s almost better than Kroll’s.

Managed to get Christmas Party: Day 4 finished up. Well.. Day 4, part 1. Part 2 I’ll probably just roll into day 5.
This is why it’s a bad idea to give your kids pellet guns for gifts. They’ll want to try them out.
