This weekend has no fixed plans. Feeling quite happy, I can do what I like. Should I:

* Go to london, see the zoo?
* Go to london, see the gallery?
* Write a short story about a murder in a fictional pantheon?
* Write lots of emails to livredor?
* Curl up in public somewhere and read for a day?
* Write some code for something simple but potentially useful?

I know my criteria, but not yours. So I'll tell you what I would like to do and let you make your own mind up :)

:) Thank you!

Especially if you have a particular collection in mind.

Alas, no. I had vague thoughts of the national gallery, but not any further than that.

I can't see myself planning to write a short story a couple of days in advance - but maybe that's why I don't get much writing done.

You mean, you'd just write (as opposed to needing a longer period)? I've a bunch of ideas flirting (sic) around in my mind, I can easily sit down and see if any of the beginnings goes anywhere.

I am somewhat confused by the pluralisation of 'emails' though.

Well, there's an awful lot of different topics involved, it seems easier to keep them separated, especially if they're already in two different emails to be replied to. After all, even if I had the time to write a four-hour long email, it would be a month before she had the time to reply to all of it :)

Writing: No time now. Ideas don't stay. Dreams? Failure of translation to words? Memories aren't words. Or maybe it's a feeling of success/completion/idea, but not based on an actual idea therefore inexpressible and infirm. Not the right word. Effervescent? No, that's fizzy. Smaller notebook to travel. Coat? Oh, summer. Problem half solved, though. Half solving two problems doesn't count as much as solving one. But in this case it's solving fully in half the circumstances/time. Still not worth half, unless matched with opposite solution. VERY IMPORTANT. So, ideas. Ineffable, that's the word. Ineffible? No. Although maybe Incomprehensible is more accurate, though it has baggage. Though so does Ineffable. Hmm. The concept is a word which is itself. Like Kadigan. 'Noun'? Yes. 'Actioning'. Not unthinkable - the opposite. Only thinkable. Although, when I do have time it works. Takes time to translate. Too much information in a single idea. 3D/hologram, write down the first view only doesn't give enough info to reconstruct. YES. GOT IT. Must get off train here, is my stop. Will write more later (promise).
