I'm feeling a lot better than I did before I crashed earlier. And I don't look as much like Lurch now, either. I got thinking earlier about the novel I have sitting and festering in my mind, in hardcopy and on my computer. I want to get it finished, I've decided. But not straight away. I'm going to use is as a distraction from school. Maybe get it finished over the course of the next year or so. It's still a massive investment of time and creative energy to get it out, but it's also a waste of a good three years of my life if I just decide to cut and run on it. I mean, it's not like it's a lease or anything; I can't just drop it when I feel like it. Going to listen to the Pixies for a while, then maybe play some DiabloII until the caffiene kicks in. Then start chipping at learning C.
