Ignition!

I don't write a lot of short fiction these days, but when I do, I remember how much fun they are. I've had a story in the almost-ready stage for awhile now, and have been wrestling with a few details, mostly names of places that feel right for the culture and aren't alphabet-soup made-up words.

One name came to me in the shower last night. Normally I take really short showers and don't stand there cogitating. This was lightning-strike time. Once I had that name, everything else fell into place. Now all I have to do is nestle the names into their proper places, one more go-through and it should be done!

I'm immensely pleased.

I love it when things come together like this. Alas, they always seem to take their sweet time doing so, but it's worth the wait.
