No lemmings, Lesley's coming, take to the hills!

I got right through level 1 of Lemmings, and now I get the message

So no excuse for not writing.

I read somewhere that you should have more than one short story ready before you start submitting anything for publication, in case the publisher says "Your story is not for us, but do you have anything else?"

I've submitted one short story ("Silly Boys") to a magazine; started another one, which turned into a novel; and another, which turned into a TV drama script. Oh, and I started the sequel to "Silly Boys", which will only be useful if "Silly Boys" is accepted for publication! So I'm still in need of a short story.

One plan is to write the TV script, "A Fighting Chance", simutaneously as a short story. This means going back over the script and converting it to prose. Should be an interesting exercise, and should keep me busy during our holiday in the hill country. (We're going to see our parents in Sheffield and Buxton.) We leave on Tuesday, after a visit to our financial adviser, hem hem.

Lesley-Jayne has promised us a visit on Monday morning, but must not be allowed to get us all pissed like she normally does. (Sometimes she even provides the booze!)

On the way home from the pub, we watch bats over the railway-line.
