Last night I met up with Christian at Dolce Vita and wrote a five page short story, beginning to end. First draft, at least-- I ended up going to bed at about 12:30, later than I should have to work early this morning, because I was transcribing it into a second draft. I'm about halfway through that draft now, and I'll have it finished by the end of the day. I wanted a sharp little thing, but as usual it's more about voice and narrative persona than it is about plot or anything. After I finish this one I'm going to write another.
