In which I ramble aimlessly

Well, I went to bed early last night, so maybe this is a good time to switch to morning.Slept very poorly, and had bizzare dreams, mostly bad. Left me in a weird mood this morning. Luckily I have a little time to dump here, maybe it'll take the bad taste out of my mouth. (I originally wrote down the dream, then deleted it, because I didn't want to read it again later. So I'm still self-censoring, but I think in this case, it's the right thing to do.) I think the tossing and turning afterwards was all wrapped up with ideas of how the world is going, and how horrible things could get very quickly. I wish people could see beyond tomorrow and the next dollar, but there seems to be a serious limit of long-range thinking in the world right now.

Well, I expect the world itself will survive, even if humans don't, but I really need to start the day on a better foot than that. It would be a good time to work on my thoughts for the shimmerworld story, since that's going to be about where I see the world heading if things don't change soon. Maybe that's what I can do. My 1984 as it were. Problem is, as always, the set-up is well worked, but the action is lacking. No plot yet. I wish I could accept that plot might be as totally simple as "boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl", though in this case, it's more like "girl meets world, girl helps world, girl goes back and helps own world". But getting from that kind of rundown to a full blown novel is something else again.

Well, time's up. This is shorter than usual since I deleted a bunch of stuff, but there it is.
