altarielYet. Teaching tomorrow and Friday, which has necessitated some sprinting off to the library to keep myself a chapter ahead in the time-honoured technique of teaching.
Mr A. left at 5am this morning for California, and rang between flights from San Francisco earlier this evening. Safe and sound.
The essay on Blake's 7 has come together in leaps and bounds over the past couple of days - I'll post a version of it here, hopefully before the weekend, in the hope that people will throw me some comments. I have forgotten an awful lot about the show, but I pulled out The Way Back yesterday and - you know what? It's fucking brilliant.
Best of all - I pulled out my notes to Withered Tree, and read them over breakfast this morning. I have definitely cracked the scene which has had me blocked, and I think I may have worked out what it was about the latter chapters that was worrying me, and how to get round it. I also spent a fair amount of time in the library doing a scene breakdown, when I should have been reading about open systems analysis and population ecology approaches in organizational theory but, frankly, do you blame me?

Looking forward to the essay; glad your writing's going well!
