After becoming suddenly fascinated with the instructions for collimating the telescope, I realized the procrastination had to wind down for the evening, and the work had to start ;)

I got stuck into the story I mentioned yesterday. Much to my surprise, the words were soon flowing smoothly and easily. That doesn't happen very often, but when it does, it's very cool. I seemed to have turned off the mental "this is crap!" filter, and just let the words flow as they would.

That's another 749 words, and now the protagonist's luck is about to change. For awhile, anyway ;)
