I’ve spent hours this evening doing more research and outlining for the story–which still does not have a name. I’ve got my timeline down pretty good, and now I’m filling in details that will help the plot move along. I think I’ll be ready to actually start writing the prologue of the story tomorrow.
Stressful day at work, in the sense that I spent a lot of time trying to understand how a fairly complicated asset system integrates with CMDB and only toward the end of the day did I see where the main integration points were. At least it was some progress.
I returned the library books after work and Kelly and I stopped at the grocery store to pick up a few items. Got the January 2009 issue of SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN in the mail today. Also got a holiday picture card from strausmouse and rmstraus . Ironic because I sent out their card today. (I also got three other holiday cards squeezed in today.)
I picked up a small Moleskine notebook for keeping notes on the story when I think of them and I’m not near the computer. Haven’t used it yet, but I imagine it will come in handy. (Yes, I could use my iPhone for this, but the technology doesn’t work fast enough for me. It’s much faster for me to pull out the pad and jot down my thoughts.)
Spoke with Dad this evening.
Cleaned all of the bathrooms this evening. I’ve got to vacuum upstairs tomorrow night.
Today’s reading: NEW SCIENTIST (December 13), and some more of The Hard SF Renaissance. I’m turning to the latter again now before I go to bed.
