I can of course refer you to this 15-month-old post on why I never seem to hit a deadline, though there are numerous examples on the blog already, I hardly need to spell it out for you.

Right now the buffer still stands at zero words; I have ideas, but haven't managed to type anything novel-ish (or even prose-ish) yet.  When it does come it will no doubt be a surprising to me as it is to any of my readers.

New deadline:  Saturday the 18th; if only because I have Friday off, and at least technically will have time to write something before Sat. AM.
