In which the author is seen to be not QUITE vacuuming a cat

So, I'm cleaning out files on my desktop, and moving those that survive the purge to Dropbox, so they'll be ready to upload to Moose, when I get him online, hopefully realsoonnow*.  Like, maybe by Monday coming.

I will say that it's amazing how much digitized stuff you can accumulate in a few decades.  Some of it is clearly no longer of use -- if you donated to Fledgling and haven't claimed your book by now, you're straight outta luck.  For instance.

There are harder choices, of course.  Old photographs are forever, naturally. . .

. . .but there's no real reason to keep advertisements for long-out-of-print editions of our work.

. . .except, yanno, nostalgia.

Anyway, that's what I'm doing.  Work continues on the as yet titleless story, which now weighs in at about 6700 words.  I could wish that was moving along more rapidly, but then -- I always do.

*Moose arrived in November, and I was going to get Right On That, except the book took more time than I had predicted, and then there was Real Life, but, now!  Now that the book is done, and before another is fairly started!  Now is the time to move house.

Ah, digital decluttering. "Why do I still have emails from grad school?" Also, I've always wondered why the cover artist for Partners in Necessity put so much of Shan's face in shadow.
