done done done

Wrapped Archipelago up at 11:35 last night, with 19,700 words approx. Didn't quite break the 20k barrier, but getting closer!
I'd call this one 'Barbara does Jo Clayton', and closer to Trading in Ghosts than it is to Culture Heroes, which was more like 'Barbara does Ursula K Le Guin'.

I can say with confidence that it will NOT make the shortlist, but it was fun, so I'm not bothered.

Thanks!
And as usual, if you want to read it, I can shoot you the rtf :)

You're too good! I'd love to have it if you want to share. I can't promise when it'll get read. I seem to be biting off more than I can chew these days! But if I have it when my head stops spinning...

:)

I'll send it over tonight. Absolutely no rush for you to read - I'd hate for it to become a chore that you felt you had to check off the list. (Lately I've been making lists that include 'eat breakfast' and 'have shower'. I guess as long as 'make love to husband' doesn't end up on a list, I'm okay.)

Ha! I'm sure that's his hope as well!

I'll keep it until I have the time to read it without having to rush on to something else. Promise. And thanks again!
