While I'm not making any promises about any particular project here, I am actually writing again. I figure if I write enough of something, some pony words might drop out somewhere along the line as well. You never know. What I'm working on at the moment is essentially a re-write of a story I read a long time ago; an old pulp sci-fi tale, about a spaceship that manages to get lost in the void between universes, where the crew discover that the technology they've relied on to scoot about the galaxy might not actually work they way they thought. Or in fact at all.
I'm using the word "gravitics" a lot. It's fun.
Ooh, sounds intriguing. Good luck with it!
Ooh fancy words!
yeahhhhh!
Ah, writing, always a fickle mistress. Sometimes you'll crank out 50 chapters over a few months, others you'll go half a decade and maybe scrape out a hundred words.
Best of luck~
That's good to hear!

It's not tooting my own horn to say it is a very intriguing concept. I'm at least partly writing it in the hope that someone recognises the plot and can point me to the original; I read it on Project Gutenberg years ago, but I've never been able to find it again since. Sometimes I wonder if I dreamed it. Or maybe I'm supposed to write it and then somehow travel back in time and get published in the 30s, in some sort of crazy bootstrap paradox? Wouldn't that be a lark.

God, yes, tell me about it. I remember once, years ago, I wrote a fairly decent short story in three days, then didn't write anything again for over six years. It took pony to pull me out of the slump, last time around.
Colour me intrigued! It has familiar resonances - and being of a certain age I may have read the same thing 40 or 50 years ago!
