I've been making nice progress on my current silly story. (Quick recap: Technically original fiction but written fanfic-style, even though the "canon" it's playing with exists only in my head; magical-age-regression-in-non-magical-setting plot.) It helps that I've been able to stick with the approach that this is just a very rough first draft, so it doesn't matter if transitions are rough or certain things don't flow right yet.

Then again, a coworker decided to bring his sickness to a recent in-person meeting, and I seem to have caught whatever he has even though I was very careful not to get too close or (I thought) touch anything he did. It's a minor annoyance, but it's just enough so that I've finally gone ahead and taken an antihistamine. So I'll probably pass out soon and sleep through to Tuesday. ( Snippet within:  )
