Well, I wish I had something interesting, exciting, or profound to report this week, but I don't. I'm still working on my Mormons and Monsters story, even though I had a distinctly worrying moment to-day that I might be so far off the target that I might actually be aiming at my own backside instead. I decided to grit my teeth and get on with it, write to the end, even though it might turn out to be a huge bomb. No matter what the outcome, I shall try to remember what Thomas Edison said about his attempts. He refused to call them failures, if I recall correctly, and then he said something like, "I now know 101 ways not to invent the lightbulb." Why, yes, I do have a good memory ... what were we talking about again? Yeah. So, anyway, even if my story doesn't turn out to be the winner of the contest, or even a viable candidate for submission, I'm sure I can learn something from it. And if it does turn out to be a bomb, I'll just title it "Dr Strangelove" before I file it away.
