Refocusing on my Science Fiction short story: Vespyr

I have a wall-mounted shelf above my desk where I keep a few things that are either useful or sentimental: a picture, a camera lens, the TIE FIGHTER videogame box, a few books, and random things that go between bookends.

One of those things is the first 28 pages of the script to Blade Runner.

I have a tendency to start things that I never finish. All the time. This is a particularly ridiculous example: I decided that I wanted a copy of the Blade Runner script, and, since they don’t sell it that I’m aware of, I decided to print the thing out and throw it in a binder.

I have completely failed, through sheer laziness, to print the whole script (to be fair, I’m printing it double-sided to save paper).

Looking at this reminded me today that I’m about 60% done with an awesome science fiction short story (story written; needs lots of editing), and publishing one of those is something that is very much on my 101 list.

So tonight I’m going to spend at least an hour working on my short story. I will finish this damn thing eventually.
