[Writingworkshop] Last Person Singular

The lead character in this story is someone you may recognize from Joe 
Haldeman's forum. He's been very helpful and reviewed it. He says he 
doesn't find it intrusive or exploitative.

I looked back over the forum posts and I asked him if I could use him on 
18 May. After I finished off Specs on 23rd May I spent a week and a half 
thinking about this and  started writing  on  3rd June. This took 12 
days at a little over 850 words a day for the first draft. Then I 
trickled out  a second draft with minor tweaks at couple of hundred 
words a day.

I'm starting to get over the compulsion to keep on going without a break 
for fear I'll never finish the story. It's a reasonable fear though. I 
have a long backlog of things started and not finished.

I sent Specs to Asimov Magazine. We shall see.

All the best,
Neale
