Done?

[smokingboot]

Well, my manuscript is finished.

Is it any good? Dunno. I love it of course, but I really need to stop staring at it now. It is short for a novel, again, and yet, every time I try to patch something in to eke it out, the effect is unsatisfactory. I like it as it is.

I say 'As it is.' Naturally it needs to be stripped of semi-colons and ellipses like everything else I write. But yes, I like it. I think. It's meant to be funny, is it? Nothing is funny after being poked around so long. There's no guarantee this will work, it may get absolutely nowhere. One can only try. God I'm tired.

No, time to stop. I need the discipline to leave it alone, if only for a week, then come back, edit, format etc...

Come on, Boot, stop. Stop. Sign out, log out, leave it alone, stop!

And breathe...

Monday 21st is good.

Porters, Gay Huzzar, Champor Champor ?

Or perhaps there's a little place you know of ?

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

Only Ballans which is expensive - it's good cos it stays open all night, but I would prefer something a tad more cosy. Never been to Porters...

Hmm, porters isn't specially cosy.

So, Gay Hussar 8:00pm
Or we can meet up for a wee dram beforehand ?

Watcha Mistah! Am running around frantically prior, so 8 at the Gay Hussar is groovy! Can't wait xxx

Darling girl I have made a boo boo.
Tomorrow night is not a good time at all due to the office Christmas Do.

I'll try to contact you by every means possible to work out alternative plans.
