I finally finished up my translation of that really dull (and difficult) article. It would have gone a lot faster if I'd been able to concentrate on it for more than five minutes at a time. My attention span has really gone down the tubes over the last couple months. I have a bad Internet habit. But the next article will be better! It is computer vision, all optics and logic and math.
It's not just the Internet distracting me. I've been playing with my brain again. The characters and plot from my first (mostly but not ever really finished except in a very lame way) novel are insisting on a little more development. More backstory. New names, in some cases.
This is the fun part. Anything can happen. They can be anyone, almost, until the plot starts to do its shoehorn thing and impose requirements upon their actions.
I may have to start writing again sooner than I thought.
