Chiming the time when you came to my room

[sovay]

So my vacation ended and it feels appallingly apt that immediately on returning to the Boston area I had to see a doctor I hadn't planned (and have to call another doctor tomorrow) and other than watching the latest episode of Chernobyl (2019) my day was otherwise devoted to my paying job. There were some fireworks over the Mystic, their highest explosions just barely visible through our skyline of roofs and trees. Happy Memorial Day.

And then I wrote more than a thousand words of fiction. For the first time in five months. On a project I desperately want to finish because once it is out of my head I will have more room for other things, I hope. Also I enjoy it.

Not a joke: I need more vacations.

It's very Old Hollywood down to locking stars into nine and twelve-picture contracts....

Hah! Yes. That.

I also read in a recent interview with....I think it was Feige? ....he was kind of bragging about how at the beginning, peoples' reps were calling and saying stuff like, WTF do you mean you want an eight picture deal at this price, and then by the end of the Infinity Soggy Saga the reps were calling him because their clients wanted in. That was....chilling.
