A 2-chapter Glitch: AKA Having Fun

Darwood's about the throttle me, but Smitty's just shaking his head, knowing it would come.

After my burst of work on the book, I took a hiatus last night and part of today by writing the first two chapters of a new book. It was Max Barry's fault, as I just got my hands on another one of his books and it inspired me to head in that direction for the night.

I just finished reading Barry's Jennifer Government, which is a gem of sci-fi and politics. The only problem I had with the book is that is seemed to be set a good 20 years or more from now, but technology was apparently the same as it is today. That was very strange. But I let it go, because the rest of the book was so good.

Now I'm reading his Syrup, which is even more to my liking. Set in today's world with Barry's steady prowess in writing.

Tonight, I expect, I'll be back with Darwood and Smitty. Their story is fully outlined, and it's darned good. So no point in delaying publication.
