The long silence is the result...

... of work on a major funding application. Approximately 40 pages of documentation, plus 20 pages of original prose and 8 pages of other writing samples.

It's eaten almost all my spare time, like a shoal of pirhana stripping a cow before it can breath. Most days I stop only to eat, breathe, fetch water and use the (non-composting) loo.

Oh, and to earn the yankee dollar at corporate towers inc.

D Day is May 30th - I've got most of the documentation done, and 15 pages of the original piece - that gives me approximately 20 hours to finish the trickiest part, revise and proofread. I won't be able to redraft the samples - they'll just have to be good to go...

eeek!

June 2 - If I make the deadline, I'll be lying in a meadow full of flowers and flies, talkin' to sheep and drinkin' beer.
June 2 - If I don't make the deadline, I'll be in bed at midday, eating cheese and contemplating a messy suicide attempt
